Following the tradition of Arnold Schoenberg and his society for private musical performances, all the pieces in this production were completely redesigned and masterfully arranged by the principal horn player of the Vienna Philharmonic, Josef Reif, in order to make them performable in a reduced formation and in smaller venues. The Theophil Ensemble Wien under the musical direction of Matthias Schorn, together with Theresa Grabner (soprano) and Daniel Schmutzhard (baritone), uncovers completely new perspectives on titles played millions of times and enables very intense, dense and intimate listening experiences through the “luxury of reduction”. Convince yourself: If you want to feel, you have to listen!
