PTASSEK RESMARK WEINIUS BRUUN DANISH NATIONAL CONCERT CHOIR DANISH NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SCHONWANDT, CORNELIA PTASSEK

Composed in 1945, Paul von Klenau’s Ninth Symphony is his last major work. The eight movement piece is an excellent fusion of a Requiem with Latin text, along with a traditional symphony for orchestra, four soloists, and choir. The piece lay virtually unknown for half a century until it was discovered in 2001. This is the world premiere recording of this work.
