About this release

This programme brings together four of Hans Gál’s most appealing works for small orchestra: the Serenade for String Orchestra, Op. 46, Divertimento for Small Orchestra, Op. 22b, Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra, Op. 52, and Music for String Orchestra, Op. 73. Performed by the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra under Jan Söderblom, with Reijo Tunkkari as violin soloist, the album offers a concentrated portrait of Gál’s lyrical, classically poised orchestral writing.

Where to buy or listen

What critics said

“What the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra under Jan Söderblom has to offer with regard to selected works for chamber orchestra by the composer Hans Gál is one of the great discoveries of this year for this reviewer.”

This line comes from the klassik.com review, whose headline is Geschichtsbewusstes Komponieren.

Further context

The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra’s own release page confirms the repertoire, performers and publication in May 2024, while distributor listings emphasise the graceful charm of the Divertimento and Serenade, and the beguiling lyricism of the Concertino.
