The Natur-Trilogie is a richly impressionistic work that brims with lyrical passion, portraying the moods of Marx s untouched native landscapes while displaying his magical feel for harmony and orchestration.
This recording s original release was the first time the Natur-Trilogie had been heard in its complete and original form, and was considered a major discovery by MusicWeb International.
This recording was first released in 2003 on the ASV label, and is the first in a four-volume set of Joseph Marx s orchestral works to be re-released on Naxos.
Of the original release, MusicWeb International wrote: This is unambiguously the work of a nature ecstatic.
If you already count Bax s nature canvasses among your favorite works, then you will be losing out if you do not get this excellent release.
