Do not miss the splendid renditions of these splendid songs (also taped live) by Cheryl Studer, just uploaded to my channel. Audio only.

I find the voice overpowering compared to the orchestra. Who engineered this - and would they like to have another try? Hm?

Thank you so very much, this is absolute perfection. Thank you again so very much.

[Maelcon]

Hi thank you for sharing the beautiful videos. All the seven songs are here except the third one, die nachtigall...Don't you have it?

Several people drew my attention to this, and I am doing my best to find it.

[Fustikia]

Are these songs originally composed for piano and voice or for orchestra and voice??

[gilsanson]

Berg composed them originally with piano, the arrangement for orchestra was made when he was already composing in the so-called atonal style. These early songs were part of the portfolio he showed to Schoenberg. Needless to say, he saw great potential and took him as a pupil. Berg was nineteen at the time.

[EllenZeng]

@Fustikia This group of songs were published by Berg himself in 1928, in both versions with piano accompaniment and with full orchestra.
