"This is enjoyable and cultivated music and is persuasively performed here, the Residentie Orchestra responging eagerly to Matthias Bamert's clear-sighted direction and ear for detail. The recording is excellent, as is Leo Samama's extensive booklet note. One wants now to explore Chandos' previous issue of Verhulst, his Mass setting, Op. 20.' CHAN 10020"
(Gramophone)
'It is an enjoyable work, and is played here with evident enjoyment and belief under Matthias Bamert.'
Gramophone
This is the ninth disc in Chandos' survey of neglected Dutch music.The series so far has garnered high praise.
Verhulst's Symphony in E minor was written in Leipzig in 1841 and achieved lasting popularity for its warm, colourful orchestration and youthful freshness. The gifts of the young Verhulst emerge in all three of his concert overtures, which were composed between 1835 and 1839, the years of his apprenticeship.
Verhulst's music is characteristic of its time and reminiscent of that of Schumann and Mendelssohn, with whom he was well acquainted.
The works are here performed by the distinguished Residentie Orchestra The Hague, conducted by Matthias Bamert.
The disc contains the premiere recordings of the Overtures in B minor and D minor.
Tracks:
Overture in B minor, Op. 2
Overture in C minor, Op. 3 'Gijsbrecht van Aemstel'
Overture in D minor, Op. 8
Symphony in E minor, Op. 46
