Kent Nagano

Background: The unfinished oratorio Jacob's Ladder, completed by Winfried Zillig, Schoenberg's assistant, which dramatises the progress of the soul towards union with God, is nonetheless a major landmark in his oeuvre. Schoenberg here explores new compositional paths, breaking free from conventional tonality to restructure the harmonic space.

It requires enormous forces, marshalled here with exemplary finesse and commitment by Kent Nagano. Die Jacobsleiter is complemented with a new recording of the a cappella tour-de-force Friede auf Erden - Peace on Earth.
