At last cpo are releasing the second CD by the Dutch composer Jan van Gilse. The first release which featured his Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 immediately revealed van Gilse’s personal style and emotional depth. Standing firmly on the foundation of tonal late romanticism, this is music of dazzling beauty infused with pathos, drama and passion.
