Cellist Heinrich Schiff delivers a transcendent performance of a cello concerto dedicated to him "in friendship" by Austria's great composer Friedrich Cerha (born 1926). Cerha's special combination of stylistic conviction and expressive diversity, much in evidence here, has been attributed to his intense involvement with the Second Vienna School (he is still best known for completing Act 3 of Berg's 'Lulu') . Under Peter Eötvös's direction the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra explore the variegated textures of Cerha's concerto and also the rich colours of the Chamber Symphony in One Movement by Franz Schreker (1878-1934).

Friedrich Cerha (*1926):
