An Ervín Schulhoff moment

This moment is inspired by the arrival of ECM's Edition Lockenhaus, a handsome five-CD retrospective that includes a fine account of Schulhoff's Duo and a spectacular rendition of his Sextet, one of the finest chamber works of the nineteen-twenties. The original recordings, paired with late Shostakovich, made a great impact on me circa 1988. I was lucky to visit Lockenhaus some years later.
