Par ANDERSON LEROY. Like most of Leroy Anderson\'s efforts, Belle of the Ball is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like…

Serenade. Par KREISLER FRITZ. Apart from the collection of Classical Manuscripts composed by the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) which he had passed off as transcriptions of settings of old masters, the violinist published original works early on as well. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, thus sweetening many a concert with this 'musical confectionery'. Famous tunes …

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Aside from The Barber Of Seville, most of Rossini's thirty-nine operas are revived only rarely today. The overtures to his operas, however, are another matter entirely. Evergreen in their appeal, many remain popular mainstays of orchestral repertoires worldwide, loved by audiences for their elegance, lively rhythms and beautiful melodies. This volume contains five of the mos…

Par LISZT FRANZ. In summer 1881 Franz Liszt composed a work that he called “ Valse Oubliée ” (Forgotten waltz) in a letter to his publisher. The work is reminiscent of the appealing Piano waltzes that the composer usedto write when he was younger – although there is a certain distance to the usual waltz style. Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteri…
