48 OBSERVER SUNDAY 19 JANUARY 1992 1 That string driven thing Taxing but not lyrical 1 OTITMM5 I Gillian Darley looks at six designs for the Inland Revenue HQ. Second Viennese School has been assumed to legitimise his music. Alban Berg was closely influenced by him: the second act of Wozzeck clearly derives much from the inspiration of Schreker's similar outdoor act. But how taut, cogent and musically coherent Wozzeck (the fine English National Opera production was televised last Sunday) seems beside Schreker's ramblings! One can appreciate the stir that Der feme klang made at the time its sheer adventurousness, its anticipation of so many trends which came to fruition after the Great War without finding that it still hangs together today. Its approach to collage, its schizophrenic veering between extrovert bombast and intense introversion now seems less than happy.
