Other info:

Two composers from Kassel. Both dies young - which was especially tragic in the case of Burgmüller, whose talented and interesting musical style (and fate) bring to mind Franz Schubert. Both symphonies are solid, well-formed works that resemble the music of Schubert.

"Piollet has the measure of these works and his orchestra plays with real engagement - witness the scherzo of the Staehle in which bubbling urgency meets a carefully graded approach to loud and quiet." - MusicWeb
