Our Take

In this latest release from ORF VRSO, conductor Susanna Malkki and soprano Lise Davidsen team up to bring Alexander Zemlinsky's Sinfonietta and Six Maeterlinck-Songs to life. We instantly feel transported to a world of lush orchestration and emotive storytelling as the Sinfonietta opens with its sweeping melodies and dynamic shifts. Malkki's direction is precise and impactful, guiding the orchestra through intricate passages with ease.

Davidsen's vocals soar effortlessly over the orchestral accompaniment, bringing a sense of ethereal beauty to Zemlinsky's poignant lyrics in the Six Maeterlinck-Songs. Her expressive delivery adds depth and nuance to each song, making the listener feel every emotion conveyed in the texts.

The standout track on this album is undoubtedly "Konig Kandaulesin," a dramatic and haunting piece that showcases both the orchestra's technical prowess and Davidsen's vocal range. The way Malkki and Davidsen bring Zemlinsky's music to life is nothing short of mesmerizing, leaving us wanting to hit repeat as soon as the album comes to an end.

Overall, ORF VRSO / Malkki / Davidsen / Albrecht deliver a stunning performance of Zemlinsky's works, proving once again why they are at the top of their game in the classical music world. This album is a must-listen for any lover of orchestral music or opera, as it truly showcases the beauty and power of Zemlinsky's compositions.
