My first, and final, impression is that Reznicek's work is primarily introspective, as if to expose the character's deepest thoughts and emotions, but at the same time giving us a picture of his outward behavior and acts. The music itself, while bearing some relationship with the Strauss tone poems, really points to their difference; it is somehow totally unlike them, Reznicek's unique musical presence infusing it with new interest for the listener. It has some remarkable passages, many felicitous moments, and a wonderful concluding section.
It is a dark and serious work like his Symphony no. 4. These works are coloured by the Great War and its aftermath. His "grotesque" side is heard in the fugue section.
WOW!!!!
That was a wonderful musical experience 👍

4:25 what kind of ethereal beauty is this that has been hidden for so long
Admirable, authentic, clearly orchestrated and harmonically in charge. 👍

I don't understand the supportive comments; I thought it was pointless note-spinning.
