Wow, just came across this, and what a great recording. Perhaps the best since Karajan’s legendary 1974 account. Makes actually a case for 12-tone music as a venue for personal expression.
Schönberg’s Variations for Orchestra can by thorny, but when it’s performed with such verve and transparency, it’s great.
