About
The Munich-based taschenphilharmonie (Pocket Philharmonic Orchestra) is dedicated to chamber symphonic performances based on Arnold Schoenberg’s Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen (Society for Private Musical Performances), established in Vienna during the 1920’s. Therefore this ensemble performs big-scale orchestral works from Mozart to Mahler to contemporary compositions with just 12-20 high-profile musicians. The result is a refreshing, crystal clear sound combined with multifaceted colours and the vitality from outstanding musicianship to produce the resonance of a much bigger orchestra.
The Pocket Philharmonic Orchestra and its conductor Peter Stangel have received several awards for their innovative concert formats and their educational work.
The arrangements played on this CD were written by Peter Stangel.

Awards and reviews
October 2017
Played in live performance with precision and vivacity, this album is a fascinating take on two high quality works, an expanded quintet and a greatly pared-down symphony. This release should appeal particularly to those looking for something different but it should not be ignored by the general music lover.
