Banse/Orf Vienna Rso/Alsop - Hans Werner Henze: Nachtst�cke und Arien, Los Caprichos, Englische Liebeslieder

Hans Werner Henze�s uncompromising individualism and remarkable compositional legacy has ensured him a permanent place in the Western musical landscape. The works in this programme represent his abandonment of avant-garde extremes, and are very much part of this quality of durability in his music. Chief conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop is an inspiring and powerful voice in the international music scene whose many Naxos recordings include a complete cycle of Brahms� symphonies as well as the �outstanding achievement� (BBC Music Magazine) of an acclaimed cycle of the symphonies of Prokofiev.
