GADE PIANO MUSIC MHS 1480 liner notes
Niels-Wilhelm Gade, the son of a joiner, who later also became a violin and guitar-maker, was born in Copenhagen on February 22nd, 1817. He gave his first public concert as a violinist in Copenhagen at the early age of sixteen. His Overture Reminiscences from Ossian (his Opus 1) was awarded the first prize at a competition organized by the Copenhagen Musikforeningen (New Music Society) in 1840 and was published shortly there after by Breitkop and Hartel, this launching the young composer into notoriety in His First Symphony (Opus 5), quoting the Danish folk-song Paa Sjulandś fagre sletter n( on the bewitching plains of Zealand) from which it draws its title, followed in 1842, confirming Gade's unusual talents in the direction of nationalist and romantic symphonism. It aroused the enthusiasm of Mendelssohn, who gave it its irst per formance in 1843 at a Gewandhaus concert. Thus began the artistic and human relationship between Gade and Mendelssohn, which reached its climax during the following years, when Gade was called to Leipzig, where he taught at the Conservatory and where he conducted concerts at the Gewandhaus. After Mendelssohn's early death (1847) he even became first conductor at the Gewandhaus, but the following year he returned to Copenhagen, where he settled, taking over the direction of the Musikforeningen and cofounding the Conservatory. During more than forty years he was at the head of the Danish musical life. His great model remained Mendelssohn, and he tried to turn Copen hagen into a second Leipzig: this moderate and traditional attitude also permeates his voluminous creative output,which he pursued right to the end of his life. He died at Copenhagen on December 21, 1890. His works include 8 Symphonics (out of respect for Beethoven, he dispensed with the writing of a Ninth !) , 7 Overtures, 3 Ballets, music for the stage, Cantatas (in cluding the ever-popular Elverskud)), chamber music and a quite considerable amount of piano music, of which this record offers a comprehensive selection.

Hayden delight

Delightful performance by a renown chamber orchestra.

Haydn: Symphony No. 45 in F-Sharp Minor "Farewell" - Final Movement
Replacement audio

So glad to have this musical program back in my collection. Lost the original CD in a house fire...now the digital version I just bought is backed up safely for the future.

The Birth of Rhapsody in Blue: Paul Whiteman's Historic Aeolian Hall Concert of 1924
MHS Forever!

My home was swamped by floodwaters from hurricane Ian in Sept 2022. As I dumped waterlogged furniture and boxes, I opened one and there were several editions of the MHS Review magazine from years ago. Though they were not salvageable I was joyously happy when MHS returned to the musical scene. Precise musicianship, period instruments when required, and attention to performance detail have always been a hallmark of MHS recordings. This one is no different, and I am glad to endorse it as a good introduction to the Baroque and Classical composers listed. JUST BUY IT!

Lovely orchestral balance

Nicely presented; vibrant.

Debussy: La Mer - Houston Symphony Orchestra
Debussy La Mer

Felt like I was transported to the shore of the Mediterranean.

Mark
Debussy: La Mer - Houston Symphony Orchestra
Good, all-purpose music for a variety of tasks

I like the calming effect of this album. You can use it while reading, thinking or doing work. Good background music.

Robert Bilas
PURCELL: ORCHESTRAL SUITE FROM "THE FAIRY QUEEN"
This recording is so good.

This is one of the most stimulating discs of Elizabethan keyboard music that I have heard, and if music-lovers don’t go for it in a big way they don’t deserve to have such delights on offer

Gramophone
A Baroque Christmas from the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Julianne Baird, The Aulos Ensemble
Unbeatable source for classical music

This wonderful resource is affordable and offers so many rich recordings across the spectrum of serious music. Very worthwhile and rewarding!

Schubert 5th symphony

One of my top three favorite Schubert symphonies. He died much, much too young.

Mark
SCHUBERT: SYMPHONY No. 5
A good musical diversion from everyday life

This is a lively Symphony. It's great background music when you're doing light tasks. It keeps you alert.

Robert B.
SCHUBERT: SYMPHONY No. 5
Unappreciated piano works

This is an extremely pleasant recording. The piano sonatas are not profound by any means, but it's easy to find profound music. It's not quite as easy to find such cheerful music. An excellent all around disc.

THOMSON: Piano Music - Nigel Coxe
Lively-paced album

A lively-paced selection that keeps you going. This is good background music when you are doing a task.

Robert Bilas
Haydn: Symphony No. 8 "Le Soir" - Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Ernst Märzendorfer
TARTINI: VIOLIN CONCERTOS

Tartini is often thought of as a devilish violinist, evidently because of his reputation for eccentric, flamboyant performances, but these concertos are surprisingly sweet and pleasant to hear. This makes a very successful acquisition.

Edward Carpenter
TARTINI: VIOLIN CONCERTOS - Zurich Chamber Orchestra
Love it

Only wish the whole symphony could be played at once rather that finding the movement

Robert Pallotti
Brahms: The Four Symphonies - Utah Symphony Orchestra, Maurice Abravanel
Has a lively pace

This selection keeps you alert. They're not meant to have a calming influence on you. Has good violin playing.

Robert B.
VIVALDI: "Summer" from The Four Seasons - I Solisti di Zagreb, Jan Tomasow (violin)
