Louise Farrenc: Symphony No. 1/Overtures/Grand Variations...

Louise Farrenc was renowned in her lifetime as a pianist, composer and teacher, but it is only recently that her compositions have emerged from many years of neglect. 'Symphony No. 1 in C minor' - cast in the German tradition - is an exceptionally accomplished work, finely orchestrated, lyrical and fiery, and a substantial contribution to the canon. The 'Grand Variations on a Theme by Count Gallenberg' is a showcase for virtuosic elegance, and the two overtures demonstrate real theatrical drama - 'Overture No. 2' was admired by no less a figure than Hector Berlioz.
