About
First collaboration of Zig-Zag Territoires with the great conductor, composer and oboist Heinz Holliger, and with the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, this disc brings together pivotal works of the two Viennese composers, works written prior to abandoning tonality and still strongly linked to what went before but already offering glimpses of what the atonal adventure would be.
Heinz Holliger is a very great master for whom many composers have written. Also boasting a rich catalogue as a composer, he has played and conducted all over the world. With this very fine disc, he gives us particularly moving, committed interpretations of works that are sometimes enclosed in useless carapaces, backed up in that by a Lausanne Chamber Orchestra at the top of its form.

Awards and reviews
April 2014
their new account under Heinz Holliger unfolds at relatively steady tempos, with more compositional logic than late Romantic passion...[Holliger's] deployment of a relatively small string line-up and moderate tempos...enable one to discern the many cogent inner workings of this haunting score.
February 2014
Holliger, who has made a speciality of the Second Viennese School, provides an object lesson in refined yet powerfully intense interpretation...The strings of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra...make a well-integrated ensemble and the excellent recording keeps even the most turbulent textures lucidly balanced.
5th January 2014
This beautifully achieved disc presents two of the Second Viennese School figures in a profoundly tonal light. Lustrous late-Romantic works by Schoenberg...enclose a darkly touching account of Schoenberg’s rather rare E flat minor Second Chamber Symphony.
12th December 2013
the superb accounts of both the earlier Verklärte Nacht, which is starkly, sometimes almost expressionistically dramatic, and Webern's gorgeous single-movement Langsamer Satz, composed in 1905 while he was a pupil of Schoenberg, make the disc thoroughly worthwhile.
