1.Hans Pfitzner: Von Deutscher Seele from: Arte Nova Classics June 12, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.19 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.47
Pfitzner's music has suffered, quite understandably, because of his association with the Nazi regime (although composers who flourished under Stalin don't seem to suffer the same neglect). But this great cantata was composed many years before the rise of the Nazis, and it is nothing like the kind of Nuremberg Rally/Triumph of the Will pompous celebration that its title might suggest. Instead it is a haunting, dream-like work of often delicate poetry, beautifully written for both voices and orchestra. There is nothing quite like it, though perhaps other neglected masterpieces like Zemlinsky's 'Lyric Symphony' or Schreker's opera 'Der Ferne Klang' come closest. This is a good recording of a fine live performance, and ... Read More:

6.Pfitzner: Palestrina from: Deutsche Grammophon May 17, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £42.99
Palestrina was an opera that fascinated me long before I heard it. From all I'd read, it seemed to be one of a select group of operas, dealing with the actual process of artistic creation (Benvenuto Cellini, Die Meistersinger, Mathis der Mahler, Death in Venice to name but a few). Someone, after a performance of Parsifal in Bayreuth, once also described it to me as 'Parsifal without the jokes' - a phrase attributed to several pieces and not true in this case as there are quite a lot of jokes, albeit German jokes, in Act 2. The music, I was told, purported to be post-Wagnerian conservative but well made. The Preludes to all three acts I heard fairly early on and they whetted my appetite even more - Parsifalian simplicity in the first, thrilling ... Read More:
