About
Diepenbrock was never trained professionally as a musician - he learned mainly from experience and read as many books as he could about music history and music theory. One of the fields in which he was especially interested was the theatre, particularly great classical tragedies. During the last ten years of his life Diepenbrock composed the stage works heard here, where he endeavoured to combine the music in various ways with the theatrical elements of dance and recitation.

Though the music is variable, the performances are classy. Antony Hermus can’t quite disguise that fact that Marsyas meanders a bit, though the Bamberg Symphony’s playing is beautifully textured…Elektra is all lofty nobility and graceful elegance…[the Vogels overture is] done with impudent wit and panache, and the Bamberg woodwind are simply outstanding
