The Jubel is especially noteworthy. Requiem My favorite recording of this work. An excellent Sanctus. 5 CD set. Concert recording showing Scherchen's affinity for Mahler.
Slow movement is especially lovely.
The culminating event of the Darmstadt Festival of 1951 was the world premi re of the Dance Around the Golden Calf by Arnold Schoenberg on July 2, conducted by Scherchen. It was mentioned in the program notes mentioned that this was a scene from the opera Moses und Aron, which was scheduled to premi re in its entirety at the Maggio Musicale Festival in Florence in 1952, again with Scherchen conducting. At the festival, the dance was performed twice in succession, with a pause between the two performances during which Scherchen gave a lecture on the work. News of it spread to America and reached the dying Schoenberg in his Californian exile eleven days before his death on July 13, 1951. Schoenberg was pleased to be told that his works were considered accessible to audiences, which had not been the case in the era of the work's conception.
