Product Description The fourteen works for piano and orchestra of Ferdinand Ries stand alongside those of Hummel as among the most important of their kind from the early decades of the 19th century. Intensely lyrical and yet displaying at times a rugged Beethovenian grandeur, Ries's concertos are works of impressive musical stature. The three works featured on this recording are all associated with Ries's English period: the Abschieds-Concert von England, composed to mark his retirement from the London stage; the brilliant Grand Variations on 'Rule Britannia', composed at Hastings in 1817, and the enchanting Introduction et Variations Brillantes, Op. 170 which takes as its theme Soldier, soldier, will you marry me?

CD ReviewsA Composer who deserves his music to be more widely heard Colin P. Davy | TULSA, OK USA | 03/26/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first heard the Variations on the song "Rule Britannia" on my car radio and was so impressed that I simply had to add it to my music library. It comes with the Piano Concerto N° 7, Op.132 "Farewell to England" and forms a really beautiful introduction - for me - to the music of Ferdinand Ries who was a pupil, secretary, copyist and eventually a life long friend of Beethoven.
Ries' music is somewhere between the late Classic and early Romantic eras, and while reminiscent of Beethoven seems not to possess the "darkness" of Beethoven's later years. Ries spent some eleven years in England and wrote the N°. 7 concerto prior to retiring to Germany with his English wife. This is also my first recording of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra and Christopher Hinterluber, Piano and I can thoroughly recommend this to you. " |
