Einem (1918-1996)

Description:

Austrian composer Einem celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2018. As a man who helped numerous colleagues during World War II and was instrumental in rebuilding the Austrian music scene after the war's end, he was honored last year with numerous concerts in Vienna and elsewhere. In his early years, Einem wrote nearly atonal works under the influence of the New Viennese Music School, but he gradually began to write more tonal and pleasing works, and in his later years he was known as a "conservative composer. In this album, we can listen to a variety of works from "Concerto for Orchestra" written in neoclassical style to "Hunyadi László (Hungarian Political Leader)," a dramatic piece from his later years. Please enjoy these lively pieces colored with unique melodies. Naxos Japan
