Four Symphonies

Four Symphonies

Last year Kenneth Woods and the Stratford-upon-Avon based Orchestra of the Swan made musical history when they completed the first-ever recorded cycle of the Symphonies by Hans Gál. By dusting off the Austrian émigré composer s gorgeously melodic and finely<br>crafted scores, which remained relatively dormant throughout the 20th<br>century, Woods has introduced a new generation to Gál s wide-ranging and extensive oeuvre. On this set, the four symphonies (each originally released alongside those of Robert Schumann),<br>are re-mastered and presented all together for the first time, opening the door to further exploration and discovery.
