His time has come..........2003-05-16
Zemlinsky was a great composer. I don't mean that he was "interesting", or that he was a "worthwhile" second rate talent. No. I prefer his music to Mahler's and feel that he was an equal to Strauss. But he had many strikes against him, being a short, ugly, rather uncharismatic Jew. He didn't blabber alot about his theories of music, or politics, or anything else. He didn't pander to public taste. But his music has a surging, overwhelming emotional power. Listening to his music, one can hear the love that he lavished on every measure, and his artistic integrity is everywhere in evidence.
The author, Antony Beaumont, has devoted a lot of his energy to Zemlinsky, having finished the orchestration of his final opera "Der Konig Kandaules", as well as several other unfinished works. In this book, he chronicles Zemlinsky's life, from his Sephardic roots, through his education, early successes, his romance with Alma Schindler (later wife of Mahler and others), his relationships with various colleagues, and friends such as Brahms, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Korngold, etc. It also tells of his struggles, disappointments, his efforts to prove that he was "Aryan" to avoid Nazi censure, and his eventual flight to America, where he ran out of money and died, a broken and largely forgotten man. How far his reputation has come since then!
Beaumont also spends a considerable amout of time on muscial analysis of Zemlinsky's works, but it isn't dry and academic. It's fascinating to learn how he worked musical symbols, codes, and names into his works--some originating in the Kabbalah (a form of Jewish mysticism). The book is also lavishly documented, with a complete list of Zemlinsky's works, with composition dates, publication dates, and the location of the manuscripts. It also has a synopsis of each of his operas.
There was only one thing that rankled me a little--that Beaumont takes several shots at Zemlinsky's famous student, Korngold. Some of his comments arise from truths--Korngold's music doesn't plumb the depths of human agony the way Zemlinsky's does, but then, no two composers have exactly the same strengths. And Korngold's music has qualities that Zemlinsky's lacks. For a biographer of Zemlinsky to say, in regards to Korngold's "Die Tote Stadt", that "...as with 'Violanta', the public saw through the glitter, and the work soon vanished from the repertoire" is a cheap shot--if the public is to be the measure of an opera's worth, then why did Zemlinsky's operas vanish? They're both working their way back into the repertoire, and Korngold is probably in the lead. But though I love Korngold, I agree that Zemlinsky was the deeper artist.
Anyone who loves Zemlinsky's music will have their appreciation deepened by reading this book, and the reader unfamiliar with his music will seek it out. His time has indeed come.

Book Description
Zemlinksy (1871-1942) was a prominent Austrian composer and conductor, whose lush music has been enjoying renewed interest. Like so many artists of the era, his conducting and teaching career in Germany, Prague and Austria was made difficult, then impossible during the turbulent 1930s. Zemlinsky fled to the U.S. in 1938. Zemlinsky had the same extreme expression in his music as his contemporaries Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg, but his music remained firmly tonal throughout his career. These two fascinating movements date from 1927, published posthumously. They are in addition to the composer's four finished string quartets.

Book Description
Esteemed by many of his most distinguished contemporaries, including Arnold Schoenberg , Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942) was a protege of Brahms and Mahler. Despite this, he was overshadowed by the composers of the second Viennese school, and for many years after his death was remembered merely as the brother-in-law of Schoenberg. But with centenary celebrations of Zemlinsky's birth, scholars began a careful examination of his works and realized they had discovered a forgotten master. Zemlinsky's wonderful melodic gift was manifested in operas, choral works, chamber music, and symphonic pieces, but was realized most fully in his more than one hundred songs. In this important new study--the first such work in English--Lorraine Gorrell focuses on these songs, revealing the ways in which they represented a bridge between the 19th-century romantic lied and the 20th-century avant-garde. Of interest to scholars studying both the German art song and the development of the second Viennese school, Gorrell's work uses Zemlinsky's songs as a lens through which to examine an important, highly influential musical figure.

Book Description
What happens when operas that are comfortably ensconced in the canon are thoroughly rethought and radically recast on stage? What does a staging do to our understanding of an opera, and of opera generally? While a stage production can disrupt a work that was thought to be established, David J. Levin here argues that the genre of opera is itself unsettled, and that the performance of operas, at its best, clarifies this condition by bringing opera’s restlessness and volatility to life.
Unsettling Opera explores a variety of fields, considering questions of operatic textuality, dramaturgical practice, and performance theory. Levin opens with a brief history of opera production, opera studies, and dramatic composition, and goes on to consider in detail various productions of the works of Wagner, Mozart, Verdi, and Alexander Zemlinsky. Ultimately, the book seeks to initiate a dialogue between scholars of music, literature, and performance by addressing questions raised in each field in a manner that influences them all.

Product Description
A broad-ranging introduction to chamber music. The book provides a rich trove of historical background information on 77 composers ranging from Haydn and Boccherini through Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms to Bartok, Stravinsky and Philip Glass. The descriptions and analysis of 253 chamber works have been crafted to enhance the enjoyment of the listener. Also provided are performance commentaries by distinguished chamber musicians including Bruce Adolphe, James Bonn, James Dunham, Daniel Epstein, Ralph Evans, Bert Lucarelli, Stuart Malina, Robert Martin, Peter Orth, Susan Salm, David Shifrin, Arnold Steinhardt and Philip Ying. As stated in the Introduction by Richard Weinert, President of Concert Artists Guild: Program notes are ubiquitous but highly variable. Every recital program contains some notes, generally provided by the performers, that tell the audience something about the works they are about to hear. Some of these notes are highly technical, others are biographical. Lucy Miller's program notes stand apart. First of all, Lucy is a wonderful writer and goes to great effort to make her notes literary gems. Second, while deeply musical and knowledgeable, she is neither an academic nor a professional musician. Thus she is unconstrained by conventions and seeks a slant on each work that interests her. Third, she delves widely into literature and history as well as musicology for insights and perspectives. (The book) is a fun and enlightening read and a wonderful companion to playing and listening.
