Description:

The Quintessence of Dietrich, "The Other Composer of the FAE Sonatas"! Albert Dietrich, German composer and conductor of the Romantic era. Fans of Brahms and Schumann will recognize him as the co-composer of the FAE sonatas. Dietrich studied composition with Schumann, where he met and befriended Brahms, who later became a conductor and a good friend of Brahms' works. His memoirs, "Memoirs of Brahms," are regarded as a first-rate source that vividly conveys the breath of that era. Here we have his large-scale orchestral works. The music has the lyrical Romanticism of Mendelssohn, but with the language and sound of Schumann and Brahms, and is sure to be enjoyed by lovers of German Romanticism. The Soliszt Europeans Luxembourg, a collection of the best performers in Europe, delivers a powerful sound. The Violin Concerto, written with Joachim in mind, is a brilliant work that showcases a high level of technical skill, and is performed with great dedication by Kreidi Sahachi. Naxos Japan
