Description
(of ALC 1201: Schimpke, Gassmann, Jírovec ): “a now long-running series revealing just how full of depth is the wellspring of the Bohemian musical diaspora. If the names Schimpke, Gassmann and Jírovec mean nothing to you, then you are certainly not alone. But each composer offers a revealing sidelight on both his heritage and his milieu, as reflected in these three orchestral works. These works, all by lesser known émigré composers, all offer up delightful surprises and noteworthy features. They’re played with grace and warmth. And they are well worth a listen.” (MusicWeb)
