Description:
Franz Schmidt (1848-1910) will celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth in 2024. In recent years, Franz Schmidt's works have been reevaluated, with Berlin Philharmonic principal conductor Kirill Petrenko featuring his works, and the release of a complete symphony cycle under the baton of Paavo Järvi. Now, the British conductor Jonathan Berman, who is passionate about Franz Schmidt's works, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales are releasing the complete symphonic works. Jonathan Berman is a young conductor of note, having previously served as assistant conductor to Vladimir Jurowski, then principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Franz Schmidt was born in Pressburg in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia). He was a composer active in Vienna. He was a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic and a virtuoso organist and piano player. During his time with the Vienna Philharmonic, he was principal cellist under Mahler. In 1927, he was appointed Dean of the Academy of Music in Vienna, where he left a significant mark on the Austrian music scene. His contemporaries include Pfitzner and Reger, and Schoenberg, who was born in the same year, but his style is a profound late Romanticism in the tradition of Bruckner and Brahms. Symphony No. 1 was written in 1899, when Schmidt was 25 years old. It received the unanimous first prize for composition from the jury of the Musikverein in Vienna. The content is in the tradition of late German-Austrian Romantic music. Symphony No. 2, completed in 1913, is a huge orchestral work with eight horns and percussion. The Third Symphony, completed in 1928, was written for a composition competition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Schubert's death in 1928.The result was second only to Sweden's Atterberg's Symphony No. 6. And Symphony No. 4 was composed as a requiem for the deeply saddened death of his daughter Emma. Although it is in four movements, it is performed as if it were a single movement. The trumpet solo is played at the beginning and at the end as a memorable part of mourning the death of Emma. Although the work is shrouded in a sense of despair and loneliness, it can be considered one of Schmidt's masterpieces. The coupling is an interlude from the opera "Notre Dame" and music for the Carnival. Conceived before the completion of the opera, it was premiered by the Vienna Philharmonic in 1903 and has since become a popular work in Germany and Austria. King International
