Symphonie Numéro 2 / Ouvertures

Description

Anyone interested in romantic music will inevitably come across the name of Carl Reinecke. Countless aspiring composers from Germany and Scandinavia came to him to learn their craft. For those who wanted to succeed in the city of the famous Gewandhaus orchestra, he was an institution. The composer Reinecke enjoyed great success during his lifetime. However, as a preserver of musical traditions, he was quickly forgotten after his death. The inevitable course of musical development swept him out of the way. This was not due to the quality of his music. Not only does his compositional technique stand up to scrutiny, but so does his music as a sonic experience. This is particularly true of his three symphonies, all available in our catalog with the release of the powerful Second in C minor.
