Hi! It is my orchestration of Alban Berg's song, An Leukon, which Renée Fleming sang so beautifully with the Seven Early Songs at the BBC Proms on 6 August 2007. I completed 4 orchestrations of Berg songs for Universal Edition, Vienna, and 3 of them (An Leukon, Die Sorglichen and Schließe mir die Augen beide) are what I call 'Berg's Missing Songs' as he originally planned a set of 10 songs - the Seven Early Songs plus the 3 songs mentioned above. These ten songs were given to his wife, Helene, as a present for their 6th wedding anniversary on 3rd May 1917.
Great moments of opera You are welcome! The 'Ten Early Songs' have now been performed 8 times by Swedish soprano, Lisa Larsson, with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Get Gelders Orkest of Arnhem, The Netherlands and the Reutlingen Philharmonie , Reutlingen, Germany.
Great moments of opera Hi, yes, I noticed you had credited me with the orchestration of An Leukon. It was very nice of you and I am grateful to you. I thought it would be interesting for your subscribers to get confirmation from 'the horse's mouth', so to speak, and I thought it would help if I explain that An Leukon has 2 companions! There is a radio recording of one of the concerts of Het Gelders Orkest (cond. Antonello Manacorda) with Lisa Larsson, soloist in Utrecht, I think it was but I will have to check and get back to you. The concert was in April, 2016. Best wishes, Chris

Chris Gordon thanks so much for this comment. And thanks for the orchestration! Glad I can share it!

Chris Gordon would love to hear the others. Some of my favourite music. I had already credited you in the video description, so don't worry!

Chris Gordon yes link it here if you like.
These songs performed by the late Jessye Norman is quite wonderful, as well.
An absolute gem. Gorgeous performance of such an underrated and underperformed work. Lovely thank you.
Thanks for the lovely comment. She was on fire that concert - look up her "Ich ging zu ihm" from Der Wunder der Heliane from the same concert.
She does a wonderful job on these. It's so great to hear them again! Brings back many memories of my discovery of Alban Berg in college.
22才でこれを作る
驚異的
ベルクが尊敬するマーラーの歌曲集と、ベルクの師匠のシェーンベルクの「グレの歌」からの抜粋みたいな歌曲集
ロマンチックで、後期ロマン派の最後にいるようなオーケストラ伴奏
I like this very much. Is there anything similar?
Berg's Altenberg Lieder. Jessye Norman's recording with Boulez is referential.
Don't you just love smart phones' 'predictive text' !
Corrections:
Im Sommerwind
Het Gelders Orkest
Listen to the late Soprano, Chloe Owen
12:08からラオコーン
オーケストラ伴奏版を初めて聴いた
ベルクはピアノ伴奏版しか作らなかった
ベルクのオーケストレーションと全然違う
Listen to the late Soprano, Chloe Owen
