Debussy & Schoenberg
First a Debussy masterpiece of timeless grace, composed as the Great War raged about his ears. Another of his late sonatas was originally entitled ?Pierrot f?ch? avec la lune' (Pierrot angry with the moon) but Schoenberg's eerie Expressionist melodrama got there first. This is music through which Christine Sch?fer has been exploiting her virtuosity as a singing actress in a variety of settings. ?Every time I do this piece,' she says, ?I try something new.' There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 14:00
