Carl Reinecke: Symphonies Nos. 1 And 3 Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Raudales

Reinecke’s symphonies are currently available on only a handful of recordings. This cpo issue makes a convincing case for their wider dissemination. Clocking in at over 80 minutes, this generously filled recording offers the Romantic German composer’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3, as well as orchestral extracts from his opera King Manfred and the Trimphmarsch, Op. 110. Henry Raudales conducts the Munich Radio Orchestra in these impassioned and technically impeccable performances. Having produced over three hundred published works during his lifetime, Reinecke is a composer ripe for discovery by plucky listeners.
