Three Vienna-born composers and four selected Viennese performers come together in four challenging and multi-layered compositions that span 120 years of Viennese music history. However, the significance and impact of the works radiates far beyond Vienna. At the same time, the live recording also reflects a moment in contemporary history, because the concert, originally planned for a live audience, took place on May 17, 2021 only as a streaming event at Vienna’s Arnold Schoenberg Center due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID 19 pandemic. The title of this recording, Viennese Transfigurations, is ambiguous. Three pieces are arrangements of earlier compositions for a quartet in the rather unusual instrumentation of violin, piano, clarinet and double bass, while the other was written for a trio of clarinet, violin and piano. Two arrangements are by the composers themselves, two by the violinist Maxim Brilinsky. Each of the works has the ability to arouse the curiosity of listeners from the very beginning, and all of them end gently.
