Symphony No 3 / Piano Trio
Rescued from oblivion before his tragic death in Auschwitz in 1944, Marcel Tyberg's Symphony
No. 3 sets out on a poetic journey with shades of Schumann and Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler,
playful instrumental filigrees, colourful counterpoint and captivating harmonies. This sweeping
work for large orchestra received its premiere performances by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by JoAnn Falletta, finally giving voice to a composer who never heard his
masterpiece performed. Tyberg's chamber music also demonstrates his deep respect for 19thcentury
musical modes and manners; imbued with the spirit of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, his Piano Trio brims with a richly Romantic esprit.
