Title: A first rate work by a brilliant (half forgotten) composer
Review: It's a shame Zemlinsky lies halt-forgotten in the shade of his contemporary Gustav Mahler. Apparently, it was not enough that beautiful Alma despised him for Gustav, who married her and lived many years as a contented but tyrannical husband... but let's forget these personnal matters and state once and for all that Alexander vonZemlinsky is a great composer who left us at least two masterpieces: this Florentine Tragedy and The Anniversary of the Infanta, both based on one-act plays by Oscar Wilde. I recommend both to selective listeners -- I'm sure they will treasure them.
