Symphonic psalms and prayers: Bernstein, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Zemlinsky (Tenebrae/Nigel Short)

Johns, S. (2018) Symphonic psalms and prayers: Bernstein, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Zemlinsky (Tenebrae/Nigel Short). [Audio]

Abstract

Produced by Stephen Johns. Tenebrae return to disc on Signum in performances exploring the Psalms in Music. With trumpets and well-tuned cymbals, the musical and prayerful richness of the Book of Psalms inspires vastly differing offerings from composers with a myriad of approaches to combining the two worlds of the symphonic and the choral. The results are works which defy categorisation and stand the test of time with audiences and performers alike. Joined by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the choirs director Nigel Short, they perform iconic works by Stravinsky (Symphony of Psalms), Bernstein (Chichester Psalms), Zemlinsky (Psalm 23), as well as Schoenberg’s final significant tonal work Freide auf Erden.
