Franz Berwald: Tone Poems


"The Overture to Drottningen av Golconda (‘The Queen of Golconda’) is one of the Swedish master’s most delightful and engaging pieces and deserves the widest currency. The performances under Petri Sakari are eminently lively and musical, Wettlauf and Play of the Elves are particularly enjoyable. Least original is the Konzertstück for Bassoon (excellently played though it is by Patrik Håkansson), which is much indebted to Spohr…" --Penguin Guide, January 2009

 



“attractive for the Reminiscence and, especially, for the Konzertstück. The other performances are flavourful, and will serve as stopgaps.” --MusicWeb International, June 2013
