Description: If you're wondering what the famous philosopher and lecturer did in his earlier years, he produced this six-minute suite after studying with Alban Berg (a string quartet and other pieces for that formation were released by cpo in 1996). For collectors of the truly arcane and of the Second Viennese School's early, softer and closer-to-melodic type of dodecaphony. Liana Issakadze (violin), Moscow Symphony Orchestra; Alexei Kornienko.
