Our Take

Welcome to the bizarre and enchanting world of Franz Schreker, as interpreted by the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and conductor extraordinaire Christoph Eschenbach. "Der Ferne Klang... Orchestral Works & Songs" is a lush and intricate journey through the mind of one of the most overlooked composers of the early 20th century.

This album is a veritable feast for the ears, with Schreker's rich orchestrations and haunting melodies brought to life with stunning precision by the talented musicians of the Konzerthausorchester. From the hypnotic swirls of "Intermezzo" to the impassioned yearning of "Die Stunden kommen und gehen," each track on this album is a gem in its own right.

Eschenbach's command of the orchestra is on full display here, as he navigates through Schreker's complex and evocative compositions with ease. The marriage of conductor and ensemble is a match made in musical heaven, resulting in a performance that is as captivating as it is technically flawless.

But it's not just the orchestral works that shine on this album; Schreker's songs are equally mesmerizing, with their intimate and heartfelt lyrics perfectly complemented by the sweeping orchestral accompaniment. Songs like "Waldeinsamkeit" and "Ein Tanzspiel" showcase Schreker's gift for melody and emotion, and are sure to leave a lasting impression on any listener.

In short, "Der Ferne Klang... Orchestral Works & Songs" is a must-have for any lover of orchestral music, and a testament to the enduring power of Franz Schreker's music. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind musical experience – it's a journey you won't soon forget.
