About this release
The retailer notes that this disc gathers together all three of Hans Gál’s concertinos for soloist and string orchestra – for violin, cello and piano – alongside his Serenade for String Orchestra Op.46. These works date from the 1930s and 1940s and showcase Gál’s transparent textures, clear classical forms and lyrical melodies. The interplay between soloists and orchestra is highlighted, and the Serenade in particular is praised for its gentle charm. The recording features violinist Nina Karmon, cellist Justus Grimm, pianist Oliver Triendl and the Sinfonietta Riga conducted by Normunds Šnē.
