The opera Dantons Tod made Gottfried von Einem world-famous and this symphonic version of his opera music confirms his reputation, as does his masterly Piano Concerto, especially when they are given firstclass performances as here. Throughout his life von Einem held fast to tonality, and even if it’s difficult to regard him as an avant-gardist, his oeuvre is characterised by a dogged questioning and opening up of traditional formal models. Thus it was important to him in his Dantons Tod Suite that it should not be seen just as a ‘potpourri’ from the stage work, but as an independent work for the concert hall. It is in this form that it is represented in this new Orfeo recording by the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and its’ chief conductor designate, Cornelius Meister. The motto of ‘transformation’ is even clearer in the case of Wandlungen, von Einem’s introduction to a Divertimento for Mozart that Donaueschingen Music Days commissioned from twelve composers in ‘Mozart year’, 1956. The Wandlungen are based on Papageno’s aria “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen” from the Magic Flute. In his Piano Concerto Op. 20 he is no less keen to enrich his music by establishing stylistic connections to jazz and dance. Konstantin Lifschitz is the soloist, and he shows here why his outstanding reputation is not just based on his Bach interpretations. The Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and Cornelius Meister are his precise, dynamic partners.
