5 works for chamber orchestra by Krenek were written between 1931 and 1979 - both before and long after Krenek abandoned Hitler's Austria for California. The emotions embraced here range from translucent lyricism, via powerful dramatic utterance, to uneasy existentialist humour - and much of it is very beautiful.
