"... this has some special qualities. It is without question gorgeously played and opulently engineered, which is saying a lot ... this performance, conducted by Storgards with 100% conviction and confidence, is worth having."

Finnish musician and conductor John Storgårds leads the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra on world premiere recordings of two major orchestral works by Alexander Zemlinsky. Die Seejungfrau ("Mermaid"), a powerful three-movement symphonic fantasy, is presented here in the critical version by Antony Beaumont, featuring some five minutes of music excluded from later versions. The Sinfonietta is a fascinating example of Zemlinsky's late orchestral writing and stylistic evolution. The work as heard on this album is a new version for chamber orchestra by Austrian composer Roland Freisitzer.
