'Splendidly played and evocative recordings to finish Hogwood's fine Gade cycle.'
Gramophone
This is the fourth and final volume in Christopher Hogwood's Gade survey.
Previous releases in the series have been very well received.
Gade's eight symphonies established an influential pattern for subsequent generations of Scandinavian composers, blending essentially classical form and romantic expression in the tradition of Spohr, Mendelssohn and Schumann, but adding to the mix a hint of Nordic folk music.
REVIEWS:
'The Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra plays impeccably, and Chandos' warm, rich recorded sound is very flattering and appropriate to the music.'
Fanfare on CHAN 9862 (Volume 1)
Tracks:
Symphony No. 1, Op. 5 'Paa Sjølunds fagre Sletter' in C minor
Symphony No. 5, Op. 25 in D minor
