Description
Conductor and composer Jorg Widmann leads the Stuttgarter Kammerochester in this album of masterpieces for string orchestra. The precocious Mendelssohn is represented with his String Symphony No.10 in B minor. It consists of a single movement, in which a sweeping slow introduction is followed by an allegro and coda. Widmann’s own Ikarische Klage takes it’s subject matter from a poem by Baudelaire: “Burnt by the love of beauty / I will not have the sublime honour / of giving my name to the abyss / that will serve as my grave”. On Korngold’s Symphonic Serenade, Widmann says “What a piece, full of glittering magic!”. In this work we hear dreams of a real or imaginary Vienna in the time of Mahler or Berg: a vision that looks to the future, is heart-rending but never sentimental.
