Zemlinsky Songs Get Some Well Deserved Attention
Alexander Zemlinsky is one of those 'lesser known' composers who fled Nazi Germany for the US in the 1930s. Recently there has been a sort of revival of sorts with a book by Anthony Beaumont a few years ago, several concert series about Austrian 'emigre' composers, and a CD set of Songs of Zemlinsky sung by Hermine Haselbock.To hear samples, go to Haselboeck's site and click on "Zemlinsky CD".Songs by Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942)
Hermine Haselböck, /Mezzosoprano
