Symphonic Epilogue to a Tragedy echoes Reger's refined and rarified harmonic style, as does the work's overall gloomy cast. It's essentially a long funeral march in the manner of Liszt's Heroide funebre, but in Boehe's case the somber mood doesn't lift until the very end, making it a less than captivating listening experience. However, the other two poems are quite enjoyable, their effect no doubt enhanced by Werner Andreas Albert's imaginative conducting and by the Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic's alert and beautifully appointed playing. CPO's distant recording is somewhat overbright, giving the impression of a large, reverberant hall.
