Alban Berg is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A decadent wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity. This sound architecture is an translucid and short tunnel that leads to light :)

The Marsch is indeed in the extended tradition of Mahler;. It mixes a lot of themes and cells, and is as long as the two other pieces added to each other< (approx. 10 minutes). This Marsch is one of the most complex scores of Berg.
I should add a detail in my comment. The percuusion introduction to the first piece is very clear in this rendering. It is the best one that I have heard so far.
In case any of you can't hear it this is totally TONAL music. It wasn't untill 1923 that Schoenberg introduced the serial method this is 10 yrs before that.
Я вчера (14 июня 2019) слушал это произведение в Санкт Петербургской филармонии. Я - не большой любитель подобной музыки, но это произведение произвело на меня сильнейшее впечатление
Thank you, Thomas. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is one of my particular favorites of the post-WWI “German” Expressionists. This painting, I confess, is not familiar to me. I love it!
Thse pieces are as important as Schoenberg's op 16. Many influencs can be heard: of course Schoenberg, but also Mahler. But the personality of Berg is prominent in these three pieces. The third one (Marsch) is as long as the sum of the two first ones. The superimposition of different musical layers in the last piece is indeed astonishing.
Correct me if this is not 100%, but I remember (from a composition instructor) that in one of these three pieces (I think # 3), Berg wrote as if ascending a mountain and then at the mid-point he brings the music back down to where it started. Kind of like an "eccentric musical palindrome." Does this sound right?
+Víctor Hurtado, trata-se de uma música "expressionista" que nos deixa entrever o Zeitgeist da sociedade do período; Alban Berg fazia parte da elite cultural de Viena durante o início do século XX que vivia uma espécie de estranhamento existencial e identitário; a insatisfação e o rompimento com a tradição anterior definiria o espirito de "niilismo" da cultura europeia; penso em uma sociedade tomada por um ceticismo geral e desencanto (ver o desencantamento do mundo em Weber, Freud, Marx, Darwin, Nietzsche).
Great Maestro Abbado ! R.I.P.
Thanks for posting this, I had never heard these before. I have always found Berg the most approachable of the 2nd Viennese school.

I don't know a lot about classical music, but I really enjoyed this. It's very 'narrative' (if that makes any sense).
Like from a 1950s mystery movie 🎬? I agree.
Wow, it went by so quickly. Very interesting piece.

Simplemente hermosa,

This is neither tonal nor serial music; it is freely atonal.

Real charming piece, the Marsch is quite brilliant. Do you know the exact title of the Kirchner painting, by any chance?
It's entitled "Mountain Atelier" (1937)

@@williamrabon8839 me too
painting is like coco's place in Mulholland Drive
Was there a coughing section in the score? sheesh.. they couldn't scrub them off in the post production?
It's the smoke flew in from artillery during the great war that made them cough
So if you don't like it grab yourself an expensive copy of Izotope RX and go to work!
mustard gas
What is the name of this painting? I can't forget about it for 4 years..
Already given in previous comment: Kirchner's "Mountain Atelier" (1937).
I can tell by listening to this that Jerry Goldsmith was inspired by Alban Berg. Some parts remind me a bit of Poltergeist and Freud.
There is a mistake in the info. Venue is not in Istanbul, it is in Budapest.
Thanks for the upload.
ops, thank you ! I corrected immediately!

I'm not sure if it happens here, but Berg has a great palindrome in act 2 of his opera Lulu. check it out!
Yes indeed, the first movement is constructed as a palindrome, or with elements of palindrome.
@@niinaranta3014 Berg does the palindrome in his Lyric Suite as well.
Whose painting is it on the cover? Please...
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner¯\_(ツ)_/¯
