"[This is] a strong performance, for beyond the concerto's basic tone, its interest lies in how Schoenberg tries to reconcile the 12-tone system with the very classical form of the concerto. Despite the tone row, parts of the work sound almost tonal, and Faust's clean, precise performance lets this emerge. She's even better in the early sextet Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4, which has had murkier, more decadent performances but settles down, in this performance with Faust as the lead violinist, at the end into the transcendence suggested by the work's title. With excellent Teldex Studio sound from Harmonia Mundi, this is a worthy entry for Schoenberg shelves or partitions".
