Lovely music for lovers of romanticism
D. R. Schryer | Poquoson, VA United States | 12/02/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Der Rose Pilgerfahrt (The Pilgramage of the Rose) is a cantata based on a fancifal poem about a rose who becomes human, with the various joys and tragedies this can involve. The music is quite lovely and the singers, conductor, and orchestra give it an outstanding performance. I played it the other day and liked it so much I immediately played it again. My only caveat is that both the music and the words (sung in German, in which it was written) are from the height of the Romantic period, in the first half of the 19th century. I love this style of music, as I love much of the music from throughout the 19th century. Unfortunately, this type of music is largely out of fashion these days and many modern listeners may find this work to be too sweet or even silly. On the other hand, any music lover who is not biased against this type of music may well find this recording as delightful as I do."
