Spectrum Concerts Berlin - Schulhoff:Chamber Music

The music of the Prague-born prodigy Erwin Schulhoff has become increasingly popular in recent decades. He moved through successive creative phases and, on this recording, Spectrum Concerts Berlin focuses on music written between 1924 and 1927. The Cinq �tudes de jazz explore the rhythmic intoxication he described in a letter to Alban Berg, while the Duo for violin and cello and the Violin Sonata No. 2 offer striking parallels to similar works by Bart�k, Kod�ly, and Debussy. The String Sextet contains violent contrasts and almost Cubist montage and was a key work in Schulhoff's artistic development.
