  • Description

    The two works recorded on this album come from a creative period at the beginning of the 1930s. In terms of style, with his works linked to basic tonalities, Weigl drew on the sound realm of late Romanticism, from whose aesthetics he never departed in favour of more progressive contemporary trends. His knack for orchestration shows both in the hymnic climaxes as well as the chamber music-like passages. Weigl never lived to hear any performances of either his Third Symphony or the Symphonic Prelude and, like so many of his larger works, these scores were not rediscovered until there was a resurgence of interest in Weigl's music decades later. This release allows listeners to hear both works for the first time on record.
