Podcast #21 : FRANZ SCHREKER: an old-fashioned modernist

In this episode, Jens & Joe tackle Franz Schreker, the missing link between Schoenberg and Zemlinsky — and a composer of wildly Freudian fairy‑tale operas that were all the rage between the wars. Deemed too modern in his time, and shocking in Vienna — but loved for both — Schreker was one of the most widely performed opera composers before World War II, alongside Richard Strauss and Walter Braunfels. Yet the curse of the Nazis and the subsequent shunting of much of the late‑Romantic repertoire saw him largely forgotten, despite occasional revivals and resuscitation efforts.0:22   Introduction1:20   Schreker vs. Zemlinsky6:16   Symphony in A minor, Op. 1 (1899)8:39   Psalm 116, Op. 6 (1900)9:53   Schreker vs. Schoenberg11:46  Festwalzer (1908) – “Emperor Waltz”13:37  Der ferne Klang (1912)17:33  A Modernist?20:30  Der Schatzgräber (1920)23:09  Prelude to a Grand Opera “Memnon” (1933)25:18  More of the Operas26:45  Four Little Pieces (1930)27:59  The Influence of Schreker28:45  ConclusionC60024‑2  Schreker: Der ferne KlangBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C600242!PodcastC60010‑2  Schreker: Der SchatzgräberBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C600102!PodcastC5348  Schreker: Orchestral WorksBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C5348!PodcastC10850  Schreker: Symphony No. 1BUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C10850!PodcastC67063  Schreker: 5 Gesänge / FestwalzerBUY/STREAM: https://Naxos.lnk.to/C67063!PodcastGerd AlbrechtChristopher WardPeter GülkeJosef ProtschkaFunkhausorchester KölnRadio‑Sinfonieorchester BerlinPhilharmonisches Staatsorchester HamburgAlexander Zemlinsky - Arnold Schoenberg - Siegmund Freud - Erich Wolfgang KorngoldWith:Jens F.
