This period was (as usual in Viena and Munich) especially rich of composers and as a result it takes time to undestand, analyze and sort of "digest" their message. The shadows of Brahms, Mahler, Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss und andere, were too strong and demarking from other composers, also bright but not so shinning as the Masters. Not a surprise Zemlinsky may still need time to be "listened". Exemple ? Did we get through the deep message /content / style of Scriabin ? Not me - I´m still acting as a schoolboy trying my best in doing the homework. Same here with Zemlinsky. It´+s wrong to say he´s Mahlerian, not at all. He may follow soms of the same paths but he´s walking by his own feet. Ave Alexander, I salute thee oh master yet to be discovered!
Lebhafte Aufführung dieses modernen Meisterwerks unter der rhythmischen Leitung vom genialen Dirigenten. Die Solovioline und die Soloflöte sind besonders ausgezeichnet.
I love this work and don't why it's not performed more often. (I guess just like so much good early 20th c music which is ignored because it's out of the main stream). His lst and 2nd symphonies are not that distinctive and typically late Romantic in style but this is an altogether different composition.
reminds me of the last movement of Mahler's 7th. This is like a mini-Mahler symphony. (But then, try Shostakovich Sym 4 and 8 -- two more "Mahler" symphonies in effect)
Zemlinsky is best known for his operas. le lyric symphony is still known since berg borrowed one theme from it for his "Lyric Suite" for string quartet". But other works are forgotten and it is a pity indeed : symphonic poems as "the mermaid" or chamber music Ike his string quartet and the youth but enjoyable trio for clarinet, cello and piano. Brahms had just published his similar trio po. 114 a few years before, which obviously influenced the young composer, but iti s quite interesting to hear how a personality of his own. Very close to his brother-in_law Schoenberg, their ways went apart whan he adopted atonality.. Here, xa have a sinfonietta, which must not be considered as a "chamber symphony'", which was an intersecting trend in that period. Here, "sinfonietta" refers to smaller architectural dimensions rather tan to the sirez of the m orchestra. Zemlinsky wanted to concentrate his developments, which were naturally rather expansive. He was a skilled composer in that extend tonal language. This "sinfonietta" is greatly successful and should be heard more often. Mahler on one side, Schoenberg and his pupils on the other side, tended to push in the shadow extremely valuable Austrian and even German composers of that time: Korngold, Krenek, Schreker (who in particular wrote an outstanding chamber symphony, a gret masterpiece much less dense in terme of orchestration concentration than Schoenberg's Fisrst one, etc.
If you're enjoying this music and are not familiar with Zemlinsky I urge you to try "Die Seejungfrau" (Kaspszyk/Warsaw P.O.) on Y.T. It might take some repeated listening but the rewards are there, a fine example of early 20th c. orchestral music.
Au départ d'un dynamisme qui rappelle la 5ème de Beethoven, voici une oeuvre charmante, à cheval entre le romantisme tardif et l'expressionnisme, de la vague de Mahler et du jeune Schoenberg.
Et dire que ce compositeur mal-aimé et largement sous-estimé a prodigué des leçons à E.W. Korngold, et même à A. Schönberg qui allait devenir son beau-frère (il épousa la soeur de Z.) Sa plus grande erreur fut de venir au monde après Bruckner, Mahler, R. Strauss et consorts. Même s'il n'est pas un phare comme ceux que je viens de citer, il est temps de le (re)découvrir.
So happy they are performing this piece! The more Zemlinsky that gets performed the better!
You can tell the orchestra is enjoying themselves and that's a testament to how well-written this piece is!

Amazing rendition and what great music!
-- Mystérieuse et envoûtante Symphonie, dirigée de mains de maître. Magistralement interprétée. --
An inventive, engrossing, beautiful work. Thanks for this fine performance and video upload.

Thanks so much for presenting this marvelous work. The orchestra did a super job in it's interpretation.
Una bellissima interpretazione che sa essere energica e lirica a seconda della necessità. Alla base comunque c'è un vero capolavoro
The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is playing this piece this weekend. I didn't want to go to that concert without having heard the work.

it's high time zemlinsk
y is recognized and played more often.a gre a t musician.operas.songs .chamber music.etc😊
Not to take anything away from R. Strauss and Mahler, but the addition of Zemlinsky's works to the mix would provide some variety.
I. Sehr lebhaft--0:30
II. Ballade. Sehr gemessen, doch nicht schleppendr-8:26
III. Rondo. Sehr lebhaft-15:34

The Master of Erich Wolfgang Korngold!!!!!
Yes, EWK studied with him. Not sure who profited more.
Bravi!!!!
I was reading the dictionary and found zemlinsky 👀
