Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and
Zemlinsky's Mermaid
Elisabeth Fuchs conducts Rachmaninov and Zemlinsky
A composer's music should express the country of his birth, his love affairs, his religion, the books that have influenced him, the pictures he loves. It should be the entire product of the composer's experiences.
Sergei Rachmaninov

S. RAKHMANINOV - Symphonic Dances, op. 45
A. ZEMLINSKY - The Mermaid, orchestral fantasy based on a fairy tale by H. C. Andersen
Rachmaninov described the Symphonic Dances as his last spark, as they were his last composition - and therefore a very personal work. The movements entitled Noon, Dusk and Night can be understood as a flashback to his own life. Zemlinsky's Mermaid also provides insights into the composer's inner life. As in most of his works, the motif of tragic love plays the main role here. A homage to his futile love for Alma Mahler?
