The Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal (OSM) and its Music Director Rafael Payare celebrate Arnold Schoenberg’s 150th birthday with Schoenberg: Pelleas und Melisande & Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), a recording of two of his late-Romantic masterworks: Pelleas und Melisande and Verklärte Nacht.

Both pieces are based on stories evolving around love, jealousy, acceptance and forgiveness, and showcase Schoenberg’s expressive harmonic language and scintillating, multifarious orchestration.

The album booklet features unique photography and paintings by Arnold Schoenberg, sketching a vivid picture of this extraordinarily versatile artist.

After their acclaimed PENTATONE recordings of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony (2023), as well as his Rückert-Lieder and Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben (2024), Payare and the orchestra further explore this late-Romantic repertoire that fits them like a glove.
