In February 2021, when public concerts had been cancelled for several months, the musicians of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne were able to meet behind closed doors on the stage of the Opéra de Lausanne in order to record this disc under the direction of Heinz Holliger. An album released in 2013 presented an earlier recording collaboration between the Bernese conductor and the Lausanne-based ensemble with two works by Schoenberg (Verklärte Nacht and the Chamber Symphony no.2) and an early piece by his pupil Anton Webern (Langsamer Satz). Nearly a decade later, the same performers are reunited and continue to highlight these two leading composers of the Second Viennese School.
