Product description

Immerse yourself in the hauntingly beautiful world of Alexander von Zemlinsky's "Lyrische Symphonie Op. 18," a masterful blend of dark cabaret and symphonic poetry. This captivating album, released in 2006 by Capriccio, is a symphonic cycle of seven songs, each a gem set to the profound texts of Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. The work, composed between 1922 and 1923, is a testament to Zemlinsky's genius, seamlessly weaving together solo vocals and a large orchestra to create a rich, evocative soundscape.

The album features the stunning vocal performances of Christine Schäfer and Matthias Goerne, accompanied by the Orchestre de Paris under the skilled direction of Christoph Eschenbach. Each of the seven tracks, from the restless "Ich bin friedlos" to the serene "Friede, mein Herz," offers a unique emotional journey, linked by orchestral interludes that add depth and continuity to the symphony.

With a duration of 51 minutes, this album is a profound exploration of human emotions and existential themes, making it a standout piece in Zemlinsky's repertoire. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this album promises a rich, immersive listening experience that showcases the timeless beauty of Zemlinsky's compositional prowess.
