Composed between 1914-15, when Berg was 30 years old, and revised in 1929. (Berg died in 1935.) This work was born during the first World War, and displays a frightening level of unrelenting intensity. I often think that this is what Mahler's music might have been like had he experienced and lived thru WW1. Powerful nervous gestures are piled upon gesture, and the result is extreme, maximum Sturm und Drang. In many respects, Berg was more avant garde in his orchestrations than either Webern or Schoenberg. So listen carefully, with earphones if you can. And watch this truly amazing performance, especially the percussion and brass.

I agree and this performance really gets this extraordinary piece right. It is indeed carrying on from Mahler but without, for me at least, the schmaltz and self-pity and, especially given the time of its composition, the hope of redemption.

It is a great performance. Particularly the sensitivity to timing. Tempo is not the right term for Berg (though it plays a part). This is painting on canvas (all such expression was happening at the time) and about tonal movement throughout key structures. Very close to dance structure.

Berg is said to have declared: "There had to come a day when we could hear how a chord of eight tones really sounds in the brasses!" 16:19 , 18:14 , 19:32 , 21:25

Great piece, great performance and a particularly excellent 1st trombone.

Together with Schoenbergs Erwartung this is the most fantastic work of the second Viennese School!!!

Чудесная авангардная музыка! Большое спасибо Франкфуртскому оркестру!

the world is full of problems, but sometimes you just have to think of some of the amazing perfect achievements like this performance, the musicians , the composer, the fact that we can film it, and just to listen.

Amazing piece, great perfomance

ベルクの作曲の弟子で哲学者アドルノは、この楽譜を見て「マーラーとシェーンベルクのオーケストラ曲を同時に鳴らしたような響きになる」と師匠に話した ベルクは満足そうだった

小品と言うタイトルなのに楽器編成がデカい！

Spannende Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks mit ein bisschen bedrohlichen doch farbenreichen Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders bedrohlich und echt spannend. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Einfach atemberaubend!
