Schoenberg: Transfigured Night

Saturday 19 June 2004 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)

Schoenberg's early masterpiece for strings Verklarte Nacht Op 4, Transfigured Night, is the subject of today's audience workshop, which was recorded last month in the Bristol Old Vic Theatre.

Charles Hazlewood is joined by his own chamber orchestra, Excellent Device, and together they reveal how the composer used Richard Dehmel's expressionist poem as the template for one of the musical icons of German late romanticism.
