Description:

Recorded and edited in 24-bit. This collection features his Modernist-style Symphony No. 1 from his Berlin period, Symphony No. 2, composed after fleeing the Nazis and settling in Paris, and a suite from a musical he co-wrote with Ira Gershwin and others after seeking asylum in the United States. It is a collection of works representative of each of these three periods.Although Kurt Weill left behind numerous masterpieces of stage music, most of his orchestral and instrumental works were composed during his formative years as a composer. His Symphony No. 1, completed in 1921, is a radical and edgy work that reflects the uneasy political climate following World War I. When Hitler seized power in 1933, Weill went into exile in Paris, where he composed his Symphony No. 2. This symphony is one of the most overlooked masterpieces written in the 20th century. The Symphonic Nocturne is
