Sinfonisches Tongemälde. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger’s first Symphony was among the most successful and frequently performed new symphonies following its premiere in 1866. This “symphonic tone painting” in four movements [Prelude, Thekla, Wallenstein’s Camp, Wallenstein’s Death], which is based on Schiller’s trilogy of dramas, was Rheinberger’s only excursion into the realm of programme music. The influence of Beethoven is unmistakable, the lively 3rd movement [scherzo/trio] depicts with much humour the life of a soldier, and the sermon portrays of the zealous capuchin monk./ Répertoire / Piccolo, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 Clar

Florentiner Sinfonie'. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger began work on his second Symphony during his visit to Italy with his wife in 1874. He was commissioned to write it by an orchestral society in Florence – an indication that his reputation had already spread throughout Europe. The autograph score contains a poem by his wife Fanny, which in four sections expressed the moods of impressions of the visit which seem to underlie the symphony. Contemporaries praised particularly the ”beauty of the Adagio. ” The work is here presented for the first time in an edition based critically on the sources./ Répertoire / Piccolo, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 Clar
