Title - The Lost Generation
Artist - The Orchestra Now

For those unaware, if you’ve seen the Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, you’ve seen and heard The Orchestra Now, the exceptional ensemble that appears in the movie’s Tanglewood Music Festival scene.

The Orchestra Now (TON), a New York-based graduate-level training orchestra comprised of the most vibrant young musicians from around the globe, was founded by conductor, educator and music historian Leon Botstein, whose insatiable curiosity has resulted in rescuing countless musical works from oblivion.

Their first recording for AVIE, The Lost Generation, brings together three German-speaking composers who were contemporaries of Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg, but whose music became suppressed by historical events of the 20th century.

Heard in concert at Carnegie Hall and the Fisher Center at Bard in Fall 2022, this release features rarely heard works by three German and Austrian composers of the early 20th century whose music was unfairly ignored or suppressed following World War II: Hugo Kauder’s Symphony No. 1, Hans Erich Apostel’s Variations on a Theme by Haydn, and Adolf Busch‘s Variations on an Original Theme.

1. Hugo Kauder: Symphony No. 1: I. Bewegt
2. II. Sehr mabig bewegt
3. III. Sehr breit und betragen
4. IV. Ruhig, streng gemessen
5. Hans Erich Apostel: Variations on a Theme by Haydn: Theme: Andante piu tosto Allegretto
6. Variation I: Allegretto
7. Variation II: Andante cantabile
8. Variation III: Tagstuck, Pastorale
9. Variation IV: Vivace
10. Variation V: Adagio
11. Variation VI: Vivace
12. Variation VII: Nachtstuck, in Kubins Manier
13. Variation VIII: Andante cantabile
14. Variation IX: Allegretto
15. Adolf Busch: Variations on an Original Theme

This wondrously crafted, wholly ambient new recording opens on the sternly sumptious Symphony No. 1: I. Bewegt and the quartet continues onward with the strident Sehr mabig bewegt, the engagingly elegant Sehr breit und betragen, closing on the stoically gripping, yet at times playful and abundent Ruhig, streng gemessen and then we are brought forth Variations on a Theme by Haydn, which opens on the short, but sweet Theme: Andante piu tosto Allegretto and the proceeds to present us the sprightly Allegretto, the foreboding Andante cantabile, a fluttering Tagstuck, Pastorale, the profound Vivace, the low slung Adagio, the vibrant Vivace, the all-embracing Nachtstuck, in Kubins Manier, the recording rounding out on the pensively sculpted Andante cantabile, the delightful Allegretto, closing on the strident fare of Adolf Busch’s Variations on an Original Theme.
