Robert Craft conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a perfectly-judged account of the Five Orchestral Pieces; the orchestral balance is impeccable. Also included on the disc are two orchestral transcriptions by Schoenberg (both performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra): a lovely performance of the Cello Concerto with cellist Fred Sherry (a transcription of a harpsichord concerto by the Baroque composer, Matthias Georg Monn), and Schoenberg's orchestration of Brahms's Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor.
