Review By jkvrdo,August 2012

This album is brilliant! Music from a 'forgotten' composer, a lover of Mahler and indeed, the 3rd symphony is a Mahlerian symphony. It's a very good exhibit of the Dutch modernism/ late-romantisism, like authors as Louis Couperus or Lodewijk van Dijssel.

The 3rd symphony is written for orchestra and solo-soprano. The orchestra and his conductor are very good (you can hear that they like this music). The soprano is missing calm deepness in her voice (which is needed by music like this), but sings very good and articulated. If you know all the symphonies of Gustav Mahler and you want something newer in the style of Mahler, this album is a very good choice. My favorite tracks are 3 and 5. They are very dramatic and very musical. And, if you want more from Jan van Gilse, there more....


Review By David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com,November 2012

David Porcelijn turns in a typically committed and convincing performance with The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra. The engineering is warmly natural. © 2012 ClassicsToday.com Read complete review
