Subkolektion: Romantic Music
Languages of Booklet Text: English, French, German
Sterling breaking new grounds! First CD from French part of Switzerland. More composers than Honegger made a mark in Europan music history. Maurices music is refined in late romantic and sometimes impressionistic style. Many pieces on the disc give a lasting impression of an extremely gifted and dynamic personality with all knowledge in orchestral writing. Grieg seems to have been a source of inspiration in the "Pécheur" and "Francesca". |

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Orchester
At last a CD only devoted to this remarkable and highly original composer. He may have started as a romantic but he became very much more daring after the two first symphonies. Indeed, we are entering a most complex and monumental structure with references also to folklore. |

A true Brucknerian whose last symphony shows extraordinary skill in orchestral writing. Also Mahler is not far away, particularely in the colourful scherzo. |

Subkolektion: Orchester
Here is a remarkable Bruckner pupil. It is obvious from his broad writing inspired by nature. But Halm´s writing is more intimate and there are not so many great crescendos. The music is great for meditation and stillness.
Notes: SWR Studio, Reutlingen, Germany (06/02/2004 - 06/03/2004)
Composition written: 1911 - 1924

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Orchester
A remarkable man. He was in insurance business, but always had a longing for becoming a full time composer. His violin concerto is very much has a Mendelsohnian flaviour with a stunningly beautiful second movement. They symphony is less individual but well crafted. |

Here is another pioneer. The great symphonic poem "Breaking waves" points toward impressionism. Much of her music is influenced by Swedish folk music -but sometimes very daring in harmony. |

Kolektion: Orchestral WorksSubkolektion: Orchester
National Polish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Slawek Wroblewski (2 -5), Gabriel Chmura (1), and Zygmunt Rychert (6).
This CD commemorates the fact that this great unknown romantic master died one hundred years ago. The Polish conductor, teacher and composer Noskowski was a leading figure in the impressive Polish music scene around 1900, working alongside such people as Paderewski, Scharwenka, and Moszkowski. These works show that also as a composer, he could measure up to his contemporaries!
Morskie oko is not unfamiliar. From a very mysterious beginning the music rises to a most beautiful climax depicting the famous cliff in Poland -with this name. The symphony is traditional in style blending the big romantic tradition from Schumann, Brahms with a tinge of Polish folk music. The second movement is an experience beyond most. A truly romantic slow movement that will bring tears to all romantic eyes... |

Kolektion: Romantische MusikSubkolektion: Orchester
Here is a completely individual Swiss romantic who also worked as a doctor. The music is on the verge of Romantic music. The first symphony is idyllic in character, while the second is much more dramatic with a beautiful crafted little scherzo. The first movement seems inspired of the Swiss cuckoo clock. This thematic idea runs through most of the symphony. Those who enjoy music by Butterworth and contemporary composers will enjoy this release. |

Gouvy was more concerned with balance, moderation and good taste than in operatic glamour that would doubtless have brought him fame and fortune. But, as he came from a wealthy family, he never had to accept artistic compromise in order to survive, and was thus able to compose in the idiom that interested him most, even if it seems an unpopular one. Even the hard-to-please Hector Berlioz expressed with surprise “…that a composer of his importance should still be so little known in Paris…”
Born into a French family with its roots in Belgium, he was German by nationality and could not attend the Paris Conservatorie. He took private lessons and became a respected pianist, but far from the virtuosos in the music salons. The music he composed was far from fashion and might not have brought him acclaim in France, but it did earn him respect from his colleagues. |
