Podcast #19 : ALEXANDER ZEMLINSKY - The Opera Composer

Once upon a time, there was a tiny little man in Vienna who composed the grandest operas. What started out as fairy‑tale works of musical theatre ended, alas, in tragic fashion for Alexander Zemlinsky in the New World. In this episode, Joe and Jens track this wildly underrated composer’s operatic career from Vienna via Prague and Berlin to his premature death in New York.0:20   Introduction1:16   Late Zemlinsky Revival3:14   Alma Mahler and The Dwarf5:12   Once Upon a Time (1900)9:32   Der Traumgörge (1905/06)13:11  A Florentine Tragedy (1916)17:01  The Dwarf (1922)17:31   The Berlin Era18:57   The Chalk Circle (1932/33)22:04  Immigration23:14  Schoenberg and Zemlinsky26:25  King Candaules (1936)28:18  Back to Vienna29:00  ConclusionC60019  Once Upon a TimeDiscover: https://naxos.lnk.to/C600192!PodcastC10241-42  Der TraumgörgeDiscover: https://naxos.lnk.to/C1024142!PodcastC5325  A Florentine TragedyDiscover: https://naxos.lnk.to/C5325!PodcastC60016-2  The Chalk CircleDiscover: https://naxos.lnk.to/C600162!PodcastC60071  King CandaulesDiscover: https://naxos.lnk.to/C600712!PodcastRenate Behle — https://www.renatebehle.de/Wolfgang KochJosef ProtschkaEva Johansson — http://www.evajohansson.dk/Pamela Coburn — https://www.pamcoburn.com/Bertrand de Billy — https://debilly.com/Gerd Albrecht — http://www.gerd-albrecht.com/Stefan Soltesz — https://www.hilbert.de/en/artists/conductor/stefan-soltesz/Radio‑Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt — https://www.orchester-des-wandels.de/en/our-orchestras/musicians-of-the-hr-sinfonieorchester-frankfurt/Rundfunk‑Sinfonieorchester Berlin — https://www.rsb-online.de/en/ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra — https://rso.orf.at/Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg — https://www.die-hamburgische-staatsoper.de/en/people/1929-philharmonisches-staatsorchester-hamburgAlma Mahler‑Werfel - Gustav Mahler - Arnold Schoenberg - Franz Schreker - KlabundWith:Jens F.
