description
Carl Maria von Weber is a name that is often cited with regard to the bridge between Classicism and Romanticism, and yet how many works of his is it possible to name? In this fantastic compendium, we have the chance to explore some of his finest instrumental music; beginning with the two charming symphonies, written in the composer's early 20s and reflecting the new Romantic fascination with timbre, the compilation also details the operatic overtures (Der Freischütz among them), perhaps his greatest works for orchestra alone and which reflect the many years he spent as Director of the Prague and Dresden Houses promulgating nationalist opera. Compositions for soloist and orchestra make up the rest of the release: in addition to the clarinet concertos, music of scintillating bravura which set new standards in this instrument's repertoire, there are the piano concerti – similarly virtuosic works which anticipate those by Mendelssohn and Chopin and are testament to the composer's extraordinary powers as a keyboardist.
