The Turn of the Century

As we move into the 20th century, music is in transition from Romanticism to Modernism, from self-expression to Realism—or to the attempt to escape from reality to bygone eras. Performers include James Galway and the Vienna Philharmonic under Bernstein, Böhm, and von Karajan. Contents include excerpts from: Puccini’s Madama Butterfly; Debussy’s Syrinx, La Mer; Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde; Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht; Wagner’s Prelude to Tristan und Isolde; Berg’s String Quartet; Richard Strauss’ Til Eulenspiegel, Salome; Mahler’s Symphony No. 10. (58 minutes)
