CD Reviews

Yet Another Very Nice Disc from cpo.

06/30/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The cpo label--along with MD&G, and to a lesser extent Hyperion and Thorofon--continues issuing excellent, esoteric and unfortunately forgotten music by European masters who "fell through the cracks" as it were because of the disasters of the World Wars. This disc of tracks by the Dane Louis Glass is no exception.
Glass was a Danish contemporary of Nils Gade and Carl Nielson. Glass' music is marginally avant-garde art music of the fin de siècle which may be termed "musical Art Nouveau" or Jugenstil.
The disc includes two fine violin sonatas and one cello sonata; they feature a nice appreciation of the timbres of the instruments. An excellent CD."
