Naxos BSIN04231175 Sinaisky / Malmoe SO - Franz Schmidt: Sinfonie 1 / Notre Dame Composer: Franz Schmidt Franz Schmidt (1874-1939): Symphonie Nr.1 / Notre Dame op. 2 (Auszüge)
Malmö Symphony Orchestra, Vassily Sinaisky
Franz Schmidt's finely crafted Symphony No. 1, grandiose in scale and optimistic in mood, recalls the masterpieces of other great Romantic composers, Brahms, Bruckner and Reger, and won the Beethoven Prize in 1900. His opera Notre Dame, based on Victor Hugo's novel, was first staged in Vienna in 1914, and won him an international reputation. Under Vassily Sinaisky the Malmö Symphony Orchestra, whose other Naxos recordings have been highly praised, makes a strong case for the revival of Schmidt's strangely neglected, yet sumptuous and deeply satisfying music.
Released 2009.
Reviews:
"Sinaisky dirigiert das viersätzige Werk mit der Haltung eines Gentlemans, frei von falschem Pathos. Im strahlenden E-Dur des Eröffnungssatzes legt er Bezüge zu Schubert und Brahms frei und zeigt, dass Schmidt durchaus nicht nur von der Klangfülle seines Lehrers Anton Bruckner herkam. Transparenz und leuchtende Farben prägen den langsamen Satz." (Stereoplay 12 / 09)
