Akane Kudo - Schoenberg: Clown possessed by the moon Op. 21 (piano reduction by Erwin Stein) - Japan SACD HybridCredits: Akane Kudo Description: This is the world premiere recording of Schoenberg's masterpiece "Pierrot Lunaire" arranged for vocal and piano duo by Erwin Stein, a pupil of the composer. In addition to the vocalist, the original composition has five instrumentalists (eight instruments), but this is a highly challenging work for the performer who has to use only one piano to highlight the characters and portray them musically.
