Gerhard Frommel – Symphony No. 1 Op. 13 & Symphonic Prelude Op. 23 (CD Album)
UPC: 845221053387
Overview
This 2018 Capriccio release presents two major orchestral works by German composer Gerhard Frommel (1906–1984), recorded live by the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra under Jürgen Bruns. Frommel’s Symphony No. 1 in E major, Op. 13 (1938) unfolds in three expansive movements—from a majestic Moderato to a spirited Finale—while the Symphonic Prelude for Orchestra, Op. 23 (1943) offers a single‐movement overture of dramatic contrasts. Captured in pristine digital stereo at the Volkshaus Jena, this album sheds light on one of 20th‑century Germany’s overlooked symphonic voices.
