Excerpt from ASV's website:
This superb disc of world-premiere recordings showcases the lush Viennese
orchestral music of Joseph Marx.
Hailed on his 70th birthday as "the most prestigious Austrian composer of this era",
Marx was a hugely popular composer during his lifetime, but has been unjustly neglected
since. Volume 1 in ASV's new series of Marx's Complete Orchestral Music demonstrates why
his music was so well-loved, and so deserving of attention now: the heady, picturesque
sound-world is truly intoxicating.
The Nature Trilogy was written during the inter-war years just as Schoenberg's 12-tone
technique was emerging, but Marx rejected serialism and pursued a more sensuous style,
reminiscent of Richard Strauss's tone-poems and the orchestral colours of Debussy. The
result met with great acclaim at the time and is still hugely appealing today.
The Symphonic Night Music opens in the garden of Eden where shimmering moonlight bathes the
scene in a mystical atmosphere. The bewitching Idyll pays homage to Debussy's "Prélude à
l'après-midi d'un faune", while the Spring Music evokes nature reawakening. The combination
of these three works forms a highly seductive collection, with passionate yet precise
performances from the Bochum Symphony Orchestra under Steven Sloane.
