Alexander Zemlinsky:
Lyric Symphony, Op. 18

Franz Schreker:
Vorspiel zu einem Drama

Alexander Zemlinsky composed his Lyric Symphony, Op. 18 for soprano, baritone and orchestra during his time as musical director of the New German Theatre in Prague, where he had moved in 1911 from Vienna. It was generally regarded as his equivalent to Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (C210021) and is based on texts by Nobel Prize laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), a leading representative of modern Indian literature.

The work is paired with a work by Zemlinsky’s friend Frank Schreker – his phantasmagoric Prelude to a Drama, which is a version of the overture of his opera Die Gezeichneten, a work typical of his style.
