Description: verything here dates from prior to 1957, when the influences of Stravinsky and jazz were still often present in his music which, if anyone is still unfamiliar with von Einem, was and remained firmly grounded in tonality and what would later be called neo-romanticism or post-modernism (parts of Medusa would fit right into a Hammer film soundtrack!). No other modern recordings available of anything here (unless you want the whole Danton's Tod opera). Konstantin Lifschitz (piano), Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra; Cornelius Meister.
