While he left an extensive and significant output of stage-works, the contribution of Kurt Weill to orchestral and instrumental genres was largely restricted to his formative years. The angular Symphony No. 1, completed in 1921, reflects something of the turmoil of post-World War I. In 1933, with Hitler in power, Weill escaped to Paris where he wrote Symphony No. 2, »one of the 20th century's forgotten masterpieces«. The Symphonic Nocturne, adapted from the Broadway musical, Lady in the Dark, a 1940 collaboration between Weill, Moss Hart and Ira Gershwin, exhibits all the hallmarks of bitter-sweet lyricism of Weill's theatrical works from his American years.
Rezensionen
Stereo 12/05: »Marin Alsop findet mit den hellhörig aufspielenden Symphonikern aus Bournemouth genau jenen flexiblen Ton, der die zerrissene Natur Weills palstisch reflektiert.«-
