Linn is thrilled to release Capriccio, Concerto for Orchestra & Hexameron, an all von Einem album with the sought after conductor Patrick Hahn – also a pianist and composer – and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Rarely recorded, Gottfried von Einem was one of Austria’s most significant 20th-century composers, internationally renowned for his operas. Although celebrated for his early orchestral works like Capriccio and Concerto for Orchestra, von Einem’s resistance to the Nazi regime and refusal to conform to postwar avant-garde trends marked him as both principled and uncompromising. A student of Hindemith and Blacher, von Einem blended jazz, neo-classicism, and expressionism into a distinctive voice that remained rooted in tonality. In his words, ‘For me, music technique is a gospel, and tonality is part of that gospel’. The album closes with the late Hexameron, revealing a more austere but still vibrant style.
