The program includes Symphony No. 1 (\u003cem\u003eBerliner Symphony\u003c\/em\u003e), Symphony No. 2 (\u003cem\u003eSymphonic Fantasy\u003c\/em\u003e) and \u003cem\u003eLady in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e, arranged by Robert Russell Bennett.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeill’s First Symphony is an ambitious student work composed before the theatrical collaborations that would make him famous. The Second Symphony, completed in 1933 after Weill fled Nazi Germany, is darker and more concentrated, combining sharply etched rhythms with an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty. The closing \u003cem\u003eLady in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e Symphonic Nocturne turns to the composer’s American stage career, drawing orchestral selections from his 1941 Broadway musical with Ira Gershwin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased by Naxos in 2005, the album showcases the remarkable breadth of Weill’s orchestral language, from early symphonic experimentation to the distinctive dramatic style that bridged the concert hall, theater and Broadway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46778637779140,"sku":"210000067006","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7014\/9060\/files\/v20wtc4tswrcbb2rxg4z.jpg?v=1789998085","url":"https:\/\/symphonystore.com\/products\/weill-symphonies-nos-1-2-alsop-cd","provider":"The Symphony Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
