Disc 1:
Rating:
- Candy for the ears...
There is a sweetness to all the music on this disc, though of the Sweet N Low variety. All the compositions follow the free for all rhapsody style of writing. All composed during the 20th century, but the romantic evidence of Lizst and Dvorak abound.
This time we get continous folk melodies from Belgium. The authors are either pure blood Belgian by birth or settled there from elsewhere. The problem is they all sound alike! Pretty themes are splashed everywhere, little extended development ... Read More
Rating:
- Flemish Rhapsody Times Six
This CD brings together Flemish rhapsodies written by a number of composers. These are less familiar works by composers, whose names are not household words. However, there is a lyrical quality to these rhapsodies which renders them an enjoyable experience, and which will reward the listener.
