Ethel Smyth - The Song of Love World Premier

The Alternative Canon project presents the world premiere of Ethel Smyths 'The Song of Love'.
The Song of Love was written upson Smyth's return from Leipzig to England in 1888. In Leipzig, she had spent the previous years under the wing of many reputable musicians. notably, she was encouraged by Tchaikovsky and Hermann Levi to study orchestration, and at their suggestions spent many nights at Wagner's operas, studying them closely. Wangerian influences, as well as elements from Brahms and Clara Schumann, are everywhere in The Song of Love, which was most likely her first large scale orchestral work.
