An Extremely Unique Disc...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 07/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

On the Capriccio label--(which has developed into a very respectable German label)--this disc features remarkable contemporary transcriptions and realizations by the Linos Ensemble.



An absolutely delicious reading of Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune for flute, oboe, clarinet, violins, double-bass, piano, and harmonium: what a line-up! (:10mins) Only comparable transcription is that for flute and piano on Debussy: Music for Flute .



Following the Debussy are transcriptions for virtually similar ensembles of Webern (6 Orchestral Pieces, Op. 6) and Reger (Romantic Suite after Eichendorff, Op. 125).



Finally, a very rare set of Schoenberg's hard-to-find Op. 8 Orchestral Songs.



This 2002 disc is highly recommended. Also look for the Linos' realization of Bruckner's 7th: Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 reissue of Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 ; and also the Linos' Mahler's 4th: Mahler Symphony No. 4; Lieder eines fahrenden (transcribed by Schoenberg!)
