A Sonic Discovery Orchestral music by Alexander Zemlinsky - recommended by GEOFF PEARCE 'The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra responds superbly to John Storgårds ...'

I have heard a little of Zemlinsky's music before, but not these works, so it was with interest that I listened to this disc. It was a sonic discovery. The lush orchestration caught my attention first, and I also appreciated the full-blown romantic melodies. There was much more, however, and I felt that it opened the door to a musical expressionism, more fully recognized by Zemlinsky's brother in law, Arnold Schonberg, and particularly by Alban Berg...
