Symphony No.1/overtures Opp.23 and 24
Biliana Tzinlikova
Louise Farrenc was renowned in her lifetime as a pianist, composer and teacher, but it is only recently that her compositions have emerged from many years of neglect. Symphony No. 1 in C minor - cast in the German tradition - is an exceptionally accomplished work, finely orchestrated, lyrical and fiery, and a substantial contribution to the canon. The Grand Variations on a Theme by Count Gallenberg is a showcase for virtuosic elegance, and the two overtures demonstrate real theatrical drama - Overture No. 2 was admired by no less a figure than Hector Berlioz.
