Alexander Zemlinsky is mainly known for his operas and orchestral songs with their opulent late Romantic orchestration. His earlier, inspired hit, the Trio for Clarinet op. 3, written in 1896, owes a great deal to his first important role model Johannes Brahms as far as inflection and instrumentation are concerned.

This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the 'Sturm-und- Drang ” symphonies. Some of the remarkable f…
