Avant-Garde (21CD Box Set)
Celebrating 55 years of the DG Avant-Garde Series: For the first time, the legendary series appears on 21 CDs. The box traces a ground-breaking time period in classical music: Starting in the signal year of 1968, when the artistic and musical state-of-the-art was questioned by many creatives, DG released 4 box sets of 6 LP records with the most forward thinking and daring music of the time. A historic document of a radical change in classical musical thinking, highlighting politically motivated and anti-authoritarian ideas of collective working and outbreaks of conventional genres. Without aesthetic restrictions, the Avant-Garde Series portrays all experimental genres and ensemble constellations of the time – from full orchestral pieces to chamber music and solos to electronic music and improvisations.
