Zemlinsky: The Mermaid
A Symphony in all but name, Zemlinsky's lavishly scored 'symphonic fantasy' Die Seejungfrau (1903) is his most frequently performed large-scale work beside the Lyric Symphony (Naxos 8572048).
Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the mermaid who sacrifices herself out of unrequited love for a prince, the work places greater emphasis on thematic development than on mere illustration. Written over three decades later, when Zemlinsky's music was taking on a more astringent manner, the Sinfonietta is remarkable for its nervous energy, anguished passion and sheer virtuosity.
"Helped by vivid sound, James Judd conducts the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in glowing performances... There have been a number of discs from this orchestra in recent years, but here Judd shows what quality of player the orchestra now attracts, especially in its ripely resonant string tone." Gramophone on 8555867
