Schreker was a titan among his composer peers, disgracefully neglected and shunned in his day, and languishing in semi-obscurity today. His operas are the finest of the early 20th Century.
Schereker wrote mainly operas in neoromantic style. There are few purely orchestral pieces - except of course suites extracted from operas. This one is a charming orchestral suite, in a rather light tone, well orchestrated.
The manifestation of a great artist. A true genius but I find it impossible to listen to his music seperate from the horrible antisemitc history of Germany and Austria. It was a fact of his life. He knew what was happening. In my head this wonderful music foretells the holocast. Thanks for uploading it.
Schreker was particularly criticized by the 'Koryphäe' (eminent authority) of the European music, Gustav Mahler -as he had already disdained Ravel's music-, precisely due to Schreker Chromatic variation and fantastic color. Listen carefully to this piece and find it "kindisch" (childish) as the old man said.
Schreker, né en 1878, était presque inconnu de la scène musicale à la disparition de Mahler. Ce dernier n'a pu connaître aucun des opéras de celui qui a dû attendre 1918 pour devenir le champion des scènes lyriques allemandes et autrichiennes pendant une quinzaine d'années. Un autre internaute prétend détenir un avis négatif de Mahler sur les Gezeichneten, alors qu'il n'était plus de ce monde depuis sept ans !
Stefano a raison, Schreker fait beaucoup penser à Mahler, mais il ose des couleurs que Mahler n'aurait jamais osé. Il y a un côté facile et séduisant chez Schreker. Un peu comme chez Korngold.

thank you always for all of wonderful music...blessings!
just discovering Schreker, and what a discovery! thank you!
Great use of the saxophone in an orchestral setting. Underrated composer.
Not so much underrated as forgotten.

See my comment above so that in my head it sounds ominous and even frightening. Particularly the last third has an end of time feel about it.
Thank you very much!

The use of orchestra is particularly wise in this little suite.
Franz Schreker is the birthday person today.Celebrate 🙌 with music.
MERCI..
Strange, the warm and postromantic Schreker looks a bit more dry and neoclassical here, with sometimes even a touch of Hindemith

Les musicologues de youtube...
Mahler died in 1911, and so could not possibly have heard most of Ravel's greatest music, and certainly not this piece from 1928.
pieno di suggestioni straussiane e Mahleriane
@Stefano Mahler NEIN! Mahler was his worst critic. His acidity toward Schreker and Zemlinky were legendary.
