WEILL. Symphonies Nos. I and 2. Lady in the Dark.
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra / Mann Alsop
Naxos Track 7
An intriguing musical sideglance at Kurt Weill's output. The First Symphony, from 1921, was written at the time when Weill was studying with Busoni. The Second, from 1934, is a much stronger work: it was premiered by Bruno Walter in Amsterdam and is well worth hearing. Mann Alsop and her doughty Bournemouth ensemble play with tremendous spirit, thrillingly recorded.
