Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Pierre Boulez's Complete Webern Edition appears just over two decades after his last traversal. Not literally complete, but with enough early works to set the mature ones in the right context. These days, Webern is no longer seen so much as new music guru, as a major composer pure and simple--his expression as concise as it is intense. Performance-wise, there's a quality of musicianship here that few previous recordings have matched; familiarity with the idiom certainly plays its part, but so does Boulez's belief that what we're hearing needs to be presented with conviction. Try the Passacaglia, sensuous music that combines the sound-world of Brahms and Mahler, or the string quartet or orchestra pieces--miniatures in duration, but whole dramas of expression. Ease of performance doesn't always make this music easy to get to grips with: the song cycles need several hearings to grasp the meaning behind the compression, while the later instrumental and choral works have a luminous austerity that looks back to Bach and beyond to renaissance masters such as Schütz and Issac. While much of Webern's music has long been admired, only now is it becoming possible to respond to it through the heart as well as brain. This set, superbly packaged and comprehensively documented, marks a major step forward, and deserves investigating by anyone keen to appreciate something of the music's quiet, calm essence in an often strident, dislocated century. --Richard Whitehouse

5.0 out of 5 stars Once you get it, you will never look back!, 9 Feb 2008
By Mr. Mark A. Meldon (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This comprehensive set of Anton Webern's complete works is just that, complete. Well packaged in a slip case with a good booklet we find the content pretty much the only versions of these various "difficult" pieces of music that you will ever need. I'm no expert, having just discovered the "Second Viennese School", but I think that "difficult" depends upon what you are comparing Webern to!

If, like me, you have arrived here via rock and Jazz, you won't find this music difficult, just different. Lovers of Brian Eno's soundscapes from the 1970's might well take to Webern. So will those who are happy to explore the outer fringes of Coltrane's later works, even though Webern sounds nothing at all like either! Music for the "non-mainstream" adventurer, but perhaps many others too.

Much of this music is sad or grief-stricken but rather uplifting. You do need to concentrate, a some pieces are very short. I'm not so keen on the songs, but the other works are very beautiful in an upside-down sort of way.

Boulez and colleagues are experts in this music and I think I can therefore call this set authoratitive.

By the way, we also benefit from excellent sound quality from what was DG; this is important in these often quiet pieces of music.

All in all, this set is well worth the outlay; you will never need to buy any more Webern and will have many months of exploration to look forward to.
