Hans Werner Henze: The Complete Deutsche Grammophon Recordings
Hans Werner Henze

[ Deutsche Grammophon / 16 CD Box Set ]

A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT COMPOSERS OF THE 20th CENTURY

For Henze music was "the communication of human experience…Music has made enormous progress in this century, as an art of the soul, as social refinement, as something important for people, as important as the air to breathe"

This 16-CD set brings together for the first time all of Deutsche Grammophon recordings of Henze's stage and concert works.

• 16 CDs in mintpacks in a slipcase

• featuring the original LP-cover artwork

• fantastic repertoire

• 68-page booklet

• new essay by Max Nyffeler

• interview Hans Werner Henze with Oliver Knussen

• Photos of the Composer

"this set not only restores to the catalogue important pieces like the comic opera Der Junge Lord...but also offers a vivid snapshot of Henze's development at its most controversial, when his commitment to revolutionary Marxism produced a series of violently expressionist pieces." (Guardian)
