The cpo label’s third release featuring orchestral works by August Klughardt (1847-1902) again “represents an impressive case on behalf of a composer to whom one cannot listen uninterestedly.” (klassik-heute). The Symphony No. 4 in c, op. 57 according to a review of an 1893 NYC performance, “is a thoroughly noble work, solidly constructed, clear and easy to grasp thematic structure, rich in its melodic invention… not a dusty product of pedantic erudition… Klughardt has astonishing contrapuntal skill”. Klughardt’s Three Pieces, op. 87, his last orchestral work, rounds off this CD.
