Biography
Franz Schreker was an Austrian composer who taught at the Prussian Academy in Berlin with Arnold Schoenberg. Schreker died in 1934 of a nervous condition brought on by the Nazi proclaimation that Jews could not work in any civil service position. Schreker is mostly known for his operas, written in a late-romantic idiom highlighting the tonal beauty of the orchestra. Schreker also wrote a ballet based on Oscar Wilde’s “The Birthday of the Infanta” for a Seccesionist exhibition in Vienna, a Chamber Symphony, and a number of lieder.

Schreker was director at the Berlin Hochschule Fur Musik. He “resigned” from there in 1932 (he was Jewish). He died of a heart attack. There was a lot of that going around during the Nazi Regime. At the time he had just been dismissed from the Prussian Academy of Arts.

- An interesting, but little heard musicWith the advent of Decca's CD series "degenerate" art the name of Schreker has (along with Zelimsky) gathered some momentum in CD recordings but less so as far as DVD. I gather that Der Ferne Klang is his masterpiece, but the only DVD is Die Gezeichneten. I would have preferred the former, but in a "leap of faith" bought the latter. At this point I have only listened to it once, hardly putting me in a position to make critical judgements but that's never stopped me before but I can claim to have ... Read More

- Close your eyes and listen.....As the strains of Schreker's sumptuous prelude crept in, I was already in 5-star mood. This is a beautiful work from 1918, of which I've already had the Decca CD set for some ten years, (same orchestra as the DVD, under conductor Lothar Zagrosek), along with some other Schreker operas, and as is happening more and more at present one is so grateful for the 'goodies' that are appearing on DVD.
By the end of the 12 minute prelude I was down to 4 stars. Alviano, the main protagonist of this ... Read More
