| |  | Gurlitt - Goya-Symphony & Four Dramatic SongsWorld Première Recordings
Christiane Oelze (soprano) Rundfunk-Sinfonie Orchester Berlin, Antony Beaumont German composer and conductor Manfred Gurlitt was a ‘progressive post romantic’ with a unique and distinctive mode of expression. He founded the Society for New Music in Bremen in 1920 to promote avant-garde and rarely-heard classical works. However, after the rise of the Nazis he was denounced as a 'cultural Bolshevist' and was forced to emigrate. True to their ethic of rediscovering little known composers, Phoenix Edition here presents the world première recordings of his Four Dramatic Songs and Goya Symphony “The Goya Symphony was apparently inspired by a visit to the Prado in 1933, but its pallid neoclassicism, designed to curry favour with the Third Reich, lacks the pungency of the Spanish artist's canvases. The Four Dramatic Songs from 1952 are more convincing, harking back to early Schoenberg, and Christiane Oelze sings them with cool intensity. But even so, they are no great discovery.” The Guardian, 15th August 2008 ** |
