Gabriela Opacka-Boccadoro (Violine) // In its mix of tonality, Expressionism and Schoenbergian serialism, the late chamber music of Wellesz - born in Vienna but an Oxford don for almost four decades - marries the mid-century radicalism of his native city with the lyricism of his adoptive homeland. In the first part of his career Wellesz was best known as a composer of operas, and these chamber works were audibly written by someone with a keen sense of drama.
