Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Alexander von Zemlinsky with this intriguing album, released on April 3, 2020, by CapriccioNR. This collection delves into the dark cabaret genre, offering a unique blend of orchestral and vocal works that showcase Zemlinsky's distinctive compositional style.
The album opens with Zemlinsky's Sinfonietta, Op. 23, a three-movement orchestral piece that is both lively and introspective. Following this, the six songs from Op. 13, set to poems by Maeterlinck, are performed in their orchestral versions. These songs, with their haunting melodies and evocative texts, provide a glimpse into Zemlinsky's ability to merge music and poetry seamlessly.
The album concludes with excerpts from Zemlinsky's opera Der König Kandaules, Op. 26. The Prelude to Act III and the aria "Mein Ring" offer a taste of the dramatic and emotional depth that characterizes this lesser-known opera.
With a total runtime of 49 minutes, this album is a compact yet compelling journey through Zemlinsky's musical universe. Whether you're a seasoned fan of dark cabaret or a newcomer to Zemlinsky's work, this album promises a rich and rewarding listening experience.
