The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under John Storgårds offer a fascinating program of two major orchestral works by Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942) as world premiere recordings.

"The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under John Storgårds, captured in stunning SACD sound, delivers a suave and subtly nuanced performance" (BBC Music)

"Storgårds's measured approach bring the opulent textures of Die Seejungfrau closer to the Expressionist sound world of its companion piece at its premiere in January 1905, Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande, than previous recordings with more tonally luxuriant ensembles" (The Gramophone)
