Das Buch der hängenden Gärten

Schoenberg's remarkable song-cycle 'Das Buch der hängenden Gärten', written in 1908-9 as he began to break with tonality and chart new acoustic realms, is the main piece in this recital by mezzo-soprano CN Lester and pianist Elspeth Wilkes. Plus, lieder by Schubert, Brahms and Alban Berg, and instrumental selections by Chopin and Brahms.
