Alexander Zemlinsky : Two Psalms for chorus and orchestra (1910/1935)

[@maxmerry8470]

Two astonishingly beautiful, contrasting works : Psalm 23 is largely mystical and ethereal, while Psalm 13 touches on something akin to a more muscular, occasionally brooding anxiety. Both feature magnificent choral and orchestral writing.

Oh WOW...... . The first psalm is nice enough but the second is absolutely devastating. As dramatic and powerful as anything I ever heard. As great as anything Mahler ever wrote. Thanks so much !!!
