I personally don't care for the later serialists though....
With Schoenberg: Verklarte Nacht is an early, pre pure atonal work which is eerily beautiful... then just dive into his work from the 20's, 30's and 40's...

Yeah, 'cause Shostie is, like, total eurotrash...
I've been interested in Schoenberg for a while. Thanks for the tips, I shall listen!
