    Amazon.com essential recording

    Transfigured Night was originally composed for string sextet, but it has since become popular in the composer's arrangement for full string orchestra. Since the Second String Quartet was also arranged by the composer in a similar fashion, it's amazing that no one has had the idea to couple the two works together before now. Salonen is, along with Pierre Boulez, the most persuasive advocate of contemporary music on the podium today. He secures playing of really amazing precision and confidence from his string orchestra, and he paces each work perfectly. This is Schoenberg for people who think they don't like Schoenberg. --David Hurwitz
