What amazing pieces! Why are they not better known? They were written between 1911 and 1912, just one year before the well-received and now very famous Pierrot Lunaire, which may have eclipsed them. I guess they still haven't fully recovered from the scandal of their first performance. Beautifully sung and a wonderful performance in general.
Outstanding!

Fantastic! What a masterpiece!
Dear gods. Now I know how they came up with the sound for Klingon opera.
Berg was divinely inspired.
Where's the crazy high "aus" (hin-AUUUUUUUUUUS)?
No wonder there was a riot!
almost feels like jazz in places, eg for a few seconds at 4:48. like it or love it, the only way to advance a musical system is to break it!
This causes ear cancer.
