The work of timeless composer Othmar Schoeck is performed with brialliance and passion by the Camerata Zurich orchestra and bass vocalist Peter Lagger on the first-rate recording of "Elegie op. 36," a must-have for any fan of Schoeck or Swiss music.
Schoeck, generally regarded as the foremost musician in Swiss history, followed in the footsteps of the likes of Schumann, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms and carved a niche in the great pantheon of "romantic" style composers. "Elegie" conveys the deep emotions that are found throughout Schoeck's body of work and Lagger and the Camerata Zurich orchestra execute the compositions with precision and fire.
"Elegie" includes 24 leider that ebb and flow with emotional highs and lows that are sure to move any listener. Like many of Schoeck's compositions, these from "Elegie" appear to be inspired by the sorrow cast by the specter of unrequited love. Try a sample listen to any of these brilliant lieder by clicking on the song titles.
