ALEXANDER ZEMLINSKY
Zemlinsky: Die Seejungfrau / Sinfonietta
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, James Judd

[ Naxos / CD ]

Release Date: Saturday 1 August 2009

A Symphony in all but name, Zemlinsky's lavishly scored 'symphonic fantasy' Die Seejungfrau (1903) is his most frequently performed large-scale work beside the Lyric Symphony (Naxos 8.572048).

"Zemlinsky's symphonic fantasy Die Seejungfrau… is one of the most sumptuously scored orchestral pieces of the early 20th century. James Judd… galvanises the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra into playing this challenging score with sensitivity and a good deal of virtuosity." BBC Music
