Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Death Note composer Frank Wildhorn’s Odessa Symphonie, performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, is now available on all streaming platforms and on CD. Listen to "A Day in the Life" from the new recording above.

The full-length symphony, recorded by more than 80 musicians at MusikVerein in Vienna, is conducted by Koen Schoots and arranged and orchestrated by Kim Scharnberg. The world premiere of the Odessa Symphonie will be held July 13 in Ulm, Germany, along with his Donau Symphonie, on the banks of the Danube River.

Wildhorn penned the Odessa Symphonie in honor of his mother Sandra’s homeland and in tribute to the journey of the father of his longtime producer, Walter Feucht.

Comprising seven movements, The Odessa Symphonie offers an impressionistic musical view of time, place, struggle, and the enduring hopes and dreams of both invented and real characters striving for peace and a better life. The movements include "A Day in the Life of Odessa;"  "A Call to Arms/Battle Royale;" "Farewell to a Soldier;" "Dreaming of Peace;" "A Lonely Star, The Journey Home;" and "Homecoming and Remembrance."

In addition to the Odessa Symphonie, the July 13 performance at Munsterplatz Plaza will also include pieces from the Wildhorn Symphonic Suites, including suites from Jekyll & Hyde and Dracula and other Wildhorn musicals.
