The violin concerto is played by Gidon Kremer with an orchestra conducted by Sir Colin Davis. Extracts from Lulu are sung by Kristine Ciesinki and Norman Bailey. I think the Lyric Suite is played by the Schoenberg Quartet but cannot confirm this, as even the usually reliable IMDB does not list this under Kriis Rusmanis who made it for the BBC. If I find out more I shall post it.

EXTRAORDINARY INSIGHTS..it now all makes sense..*** Gorgeous Cinematography** Kudos

Thank you for sharing!

Nice to see Louis Krasner and George Perle in this, that excellent composer Gottfried von Einem. and also the late-lamented Anthony Pople. Some English subtitles would have been nice. Otherwise a fascinating doc. Thank you!

It is sad that whenever Berg and his music is considered nowadays, this is always what's presented as front-and-center to an understanding of his character and his work. Sadly, there is no longer any hope of encountering these wonderful compositions without all this baggage. There is no other composer of whom this may said to be true.
