Lyrische Symphonie, op. 18

Album by Alexander von Zemlinsky & Dorothy Dorow & Siegmund Nimsgern & BBC Symphony Orchestra & Gabriele Ferro

Lyrische Symphonie, Op. 18 is a song-symphony for soprano, baritone and orchestra by Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky, completed in 1923. The work combines rich late-Romantic orchestration and chromatic, expressionist-inflected harmony with extended vocal writing, and it occupies a distinctive place in Zemlinsky's output as a synthesis of his romantic roots and the early 20th-century modernist currents around him.
First released: 1992
