Die Zwölftonmethode - totgeschwiegen und totgeredet, geliebt und verehrt, verhasst und verdammt - ist eine jener Mysterien der Musikgeschichte, die unser Leben wie kein anderes in den Bann ungeahnter tönender Dimensionen zu ziehen vermag. Lassen wir uns erklären, wie unser Alltag durch Anhörung der herausragenden atonalen und dodekaphonen Werke von Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg und Anton Webern eine höhere Dimension erlangt. Die Metaphysik der Töne - in ein einziges Album gebannt. Nie war diese Musik zwingender als jetzt. Suchtgefahr!
Audio: a production, done in 1977 by Robert Conrad, the founder of WCLV classical radio in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The script was written by conductor Kenneth Jean and Mathias Bamert is said to have had a role in the production.
Video: ascvideo (Arnold Schönberg Center, Wien)

  • I'd still rather listen to this that commercial pop radio!!!

  • Wonderful. And including The Rite was idiotic.

  • Where can I get this CD?

  • @EdiEllerymissing There a few exceptions (Webern's Symphonie, Berg's violin concerto etc.), but you're right, most of them are not.

  • @texancomposer Neither are most of the other pieces heard on the video... which makes it all the more funny :D

  • Then again neither is Rite... ehhh... kinda fail come to think of it.

  • Pierrot Lunaire isn't 12-tone (Yes I realize I'm picking hairs)

  • I'm still waiting for the second album, with all the songs from my childhood, like "Survivor of Warsaw."

  • Most of the music they use for this "commercial", if not all of it, is not twelve tone :-S... Besides the title, this is very funny :-D.

  • @elgaed69 Being from the USA is an even bigger disadvantage with regard to language.
