Austrian (1883 – 1945)

Anton Webern (December 3, 1883 – September 15, 1945) was an Austrian composer. He was a member of the Second Viennese School. As a student and significant follower of Arnold Schoenberg, he became one of the best-known proponents of the twelve-tone technique; in addition, his innovations regarding schematic organization of pitch, rhythm and dynamics were formative in the musical style later known as serialism.

The performances on the 6CD Complete Webern Box are decent but in my opinion Boulez's new style, which is, one could say, calm and steady, doesn't have the fire some of the pieces need. The second movement of the six pieces for orchestra, opus 6, is a very good example. Compare Boulez's performance to, for example, Claudio Abbaddo's! And the string orchestra version of opus 5, particularly the first movement, is a fiasko compared to a version on Lucerne Strings festival "Dialogue Schubert-Webern" -CD. Though I can't deny that Boulez's interpretions are interesting - he doesn't always do them in the usual way. It is interesting to listen to Webern conducting Berg's Violin Concerto and to find out that Webern did not get slower during the years - as Boulez seems to if you compare his earlier Webern-recordings to these newer. The opening of the second movement of the Berg's concerto is explosive in Webern's hands!
