Zemlinsky: The Mermaid, Sinfonietta


New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, James Judd

“Zemlinsky's symphonic fantasy Die Seejungfrau… is one of the most sumptuously scored orchestral pieces of the early 20th century. James Judd… galvanises the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra into playing this challenging score with sensitivity and a good deal of virtuosity.” --BBC Music Magazine, October 2009 ****





“Seejungfrau is crammed with ravishing, expansive melodies and lush, aqueous harmonies and, as the New Zealand Symphony performance shows, it's a mystery why it is not an established repertory work” --The Guardian, 31st July 2009 ****

“Zemlinsky’s symphonic fantasy may have fewer take-home tunes than Disney’s The Little Mermaid, but you can’t fault its opulent sweep, lively imagination, or inventive scoring.” --The Times, 11th July 2009 ***
