The last recording by Amaury du Closel<\/a> (1956 – 2024), founder of the Forum Voix Etouff\u00e9es in 2005, this recording presents three major works by Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg: First Chamber Symphony, Erste Kammersymphonie op. 9; The Book of Hanging Gardens, Das Buch der h\u00e4ngenden G\u00e4rten op. 15; Five Pieces for Orchestra, F\u00fcnf Orchesterst\u00fccke op. 16<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg<\/a> \u2013 or Schoenberg – (1874-1951) was a German composer who revolutionized music in the first half of the 20th century. A renowned theorist, painter, author, and arranger, he was an exceptional figure. Converted to Protestantism in 1898 like many assimilated Jews, he suffered from the rise of anti-Semitism in the 1920s. After Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and the \u201cGerman Law for the Restoration of the Civil Service of April 7, 1933\u201d was enacted, Sch\u00f6nberg had to resign from his activities, including the composition classes he taught at the Prussian Academy of Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considered \u201cdegenerate\u201d by the Nazi regime, he was forced to leave Germany and spent several months in France, where he rejoined the Jewish faith on July 30, 1933, at the synagogue on Rue Copernic (Paris), before going into permanent exile in the United States, where he taught composition in New York, Boston, and then at the University of Los Angeles until his retirement in 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considered by the Nazis to be \u201cthe quintessential degenerate musician,\u201d Schoenberg was one of the most famous victims of Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitic policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
