The style of this Graz-born 20th-century composer is attractive, like Tippett heard through an Austrian filter. Quality Bochum Symphony orchestra playing; over-cautious conducting.

About
Joseph Marx was described by Wilhelm Furtwängler as one of the leading figures in Austria’s music scene, and while his music disappeared completely from concert programmes after his death he ‘shaped an era’ and left a profound impression on several generations of composers. Marx made no secret of his admiration for the Classical giants of music, and the late-period works in this programme pay homage to Haydn and others while retaining Romantic sensibilities: a blend of old and new that creates something remarkably timeless.
