Eric Zeisl

Music Director Neal Stulberg conducts the UCLA Philharmonia in three hitherto unrecorded orchestral compositions by Eric Zeisl. Representing his Viennese years are his bold, richly scored (and not so little) Little Symphony: After Pictures of Roswitha Bitterlich (1935-36) and the intimate November: Six Sketches for Chamber Orchestra (1937-40). Epitomizing Zeisl’s maturity in Los Angeles is the dramatic Concerto Grosso for 'Cello and Orchestra (1955-56), his last large-scale orchestral work (performed here by Yarlung star and GRAMMY winning 'cellist Antonio Lysy).
