Arnold Schoenberg is primarily known as the founder of 12-tone music. However, with his 1899 Gurre-Lieder, based on a wild and romantic folk tale, he showed himself to be a master of the voluminous musical style of late Romanticism. Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker presented the work in October 2013 as the finale to the Philharmonie’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
