FRANZ SCHMIDT - beyond the "Seven Seals"
The Symphonies · Notre Dame · Fantasia for piano and orchestra · Variations on a Hussar's Song
Franz Schmidt is not the most neglected composer among the 20th century grand romantics, but the discrepancy between the greatness of his music and his neglect in concert is staggering. Together with conductor Jonathan Bermann, who recently recorded Schmidt’s four symphonies with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Jens & Joe try to zero in on the phenomenon Schmidt and his music. with: Jonathan Bermann (Conductor) · Jens F. Laurson (Journalist) · Johannes Kernmayer (Capriccio) · Martin Klebahn / 4tune Studios (Video Operator)
