Description
The Austrian composer Walter Bricht (1904–70) was one of many musicians of Jewish ancestry who fled Vienna after the Anschluss for the safety of the USA, becoming a valued professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. Fittingly, it is the nearby Fort Wayne Philharmonic that has made the first album of Bricht's music. Bricht was reportedly Franz Schmidt's favourite student, and the late-Romantic styles of the two men are indeed very closely aligned in their mix of Baroque counterpoint, Classical procedure and Wagnerian chromatic harmony: Bricht's Symphony in A minor might almost be Schmidt's No. 5.
