#Rarity #Cultural #Heritage #Schoenberg #TransfiguredNight #PillarofFire #EugeneOrmandy #PhiladelphiaOrchestra #ClassicalMusic #Ballet #Modernism We present to you a legendary 1950 recording: the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. The musical basis for Antony Tudor's celebrated ballet "Pillar of Fire." Hear this masterpiece of late Romanticism and early modernism performed by the great masters of the 20th century. The recording also features the Temple University Choirs (directed by Elaine Brown). "Transfigured Night" (1899) is Arnold Schoenberg's early masterpiece, inspired by Richard Dehmel's poem. Originally written as a string sextet, this recording features a monumental version for string orchestra. In 1942, choreographer Antony Tudor used this music for the ballet Pillar of Fire at the American Ballet Theatre in New York City. The production went down in history as a psychological breakthrough in ballet, exploring themes of guilt, sexual repression, and redemption. The recording was made under the baton of maestro Eugene Ormandy, who directed the Philadelphia Orchestra for over 40 years. Antony Tudor's ballet, set to music by Schoenberg, premiered in the United States in 1942. The music combines late German Romanticism (influenced by Wagner and Brahms) with elements of early Expressionism and Impressionism.
