Fritz Brun - Symphony no 3. Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Adriano, conductor

Fritz Brun - Symphony no 3. Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Adriano, conductor
ID: CDS1059-2
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: World Premiere Recording
Subcollection: Orchestra

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.

Scharwenka, Ouverture, Symphony, Andante Religioso Gävle Symphony Orchestra Christopher Fifield.
ID: CDS1060-2
CDs: 1
Type: CD

A master of melody, Scharwenka developed his skills mostly as a piano composer and virtuoso. But he was also a very typical late romantic orchestral composer and his symphony proves his excellent sense of pace and melody. The Andante should be a standard work for everybody longing for peace and stillness.

This is fun! Miloslav Koenneman was a composer and military musician who came to Baden-Baden around 1850. He composed this very charming piece of music -a little like Hans Christian Lumbye. It is performed outdoors every year in Baden-Baden and the audience is meant to sing along in the hymn in the end of the piece -like Pomp and Circumstance. Even Mark Twain loved it -arriving tired in Baden-Baden around the time when Koenneman was there and the author writes that the piece "delighted me, warmed me, moved me, stirred me, uplifted me, enraptured me." So this is a must -also for the tender and melancholy Gounod piece in the end of the CD. You will love this one.

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.

Here is the second volume of orchestra works by this remarkable pioneer in body and movement. His orchestral music is very personal -but influenced by Delibes and other contemporary French composers. Very colourful orchestral writing and truly complex, just listen to Tableaux Romands. Swiss in style and spirit.

Emile Jaques-Dalcroze wrote in almost every musical genre except for religious music. His style and his artistic approach are distinguished above all by his extraordianry melodic gift and the originality of his sense of rhythm. Aestetically close to the French school (of which he was a fervent champiion), he nevertheless showed the influence of Germanic post-romanticism.

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.

Three Dalecarlian Paintings, op 1, Festive Polonaise, op 13, From Home, symphonic poem, Leksand Suite, op 41, Gesunda, symphonic poem, op 54. Gävle Symphony Orchestra, Michael Bartosch, conductor. Here is a world prémiere selection of symphonic works from the composer´s first orchestral writings and on to his last symphonic poem Gesunda. He is basically a melodical sentimentalist with a distinct Swedish rustic flavour. In the Dalcarlian Paintings there are also elegiac folklore and in the From Home, you can more or less hear the green Swedish forests rustle in an orchestral setting....A real gem!
