F.L.Ae. Kunzen, composer

About:
From until his death, F.L.Ae. Kunzen was Court Conductor in Copenhagen, holding the highest musical post the Danish King could grant. After the international success of the recording of his opera Holger Danske (Ogier the Dane), other areas of his creative output are presented for the first time on this CD. Until 1850 the hymn The Hallelujah of Creation was frequently performed, especially in the German-speaking contries. Contemporary critics saw it as one of his indisputable "masterpieces".

Reviews

Eine kraftvolle Stimme der Spätromantik, von der man gerne noch mehr hörte
(Klassik Heute)

Affectionate interpretations and fine sound put the icing on a sweet, nicely decorated little cake
(Classics Today)

Die beiden Solisten und die wieder einmal glänzend aufgelegten Radiosinfoniker aus Kopenhagen treffen genau den rechten Ton. Die Einspielung kann interpretatorisch wie technisch als vorbildlich gelten
