Die Seejungfrau

Album by Alexander von Zemlinsky & Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest & Marc Albrecht

Die Seejungfrau is a symphonic poem by Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky, composed in 1903. The work uses lush late-Romantic orchestration, dense chromatic harmony and sweeping melodic writing to conjure its sea-fairy narrative, and it occupies a place in Zemlinsky's output that reflects his development within the late-Romantic tradition and engagement with Wagnerian and Strauss-influenced orchestral colour.
First released: 26th June 2020
