 Update me on new releases by Gade

Niels Wilhelm Gade (2/22/1817 - 12/21/1890)

The Danish composer Niels Gade started his musical career as a violinist in the Danish Royal Orchestra. His first success as a composer came in 1840 with his overture Echoes of Ossian. His First Symphony was accepted by Mendelssohn and performed by the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, where Gade met Mendelssohn and Schumann, succeeding the former as conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in 1847. The following year he returned to Denmark, where he came to assume a leading position in the musical life of the country, writing music in a style greatly influenced by Mendelssohn and Schumann.

Orchestral Music

Gade’s orchestral music includes eight symphonies, a Violin Concerto, several concert overtures, and the evocative A Summer’s Day in the Country (five pieces for orchestra).

Chamber Music

Gade’s chamber music includes the mature String Quartet in D, two string quintets, a String Sextet and String Octet, the Fantasiestücke for clarinet and piano, and three violin sonatas.

Piano Music

Piano music by Gade, items of which once formed a general part of popular amateur repertoire, includes a Piano Sonata, Fantasy Pieces, and Akvareller (‘Water-Colours’) – attractive brief sketches.

Vocal and Choral Music
