Huber, Hans: Symphonies 1, "Tell" & 7, "Swiss"

CDS 1042-2 Hans Huber (1852-1921): Symphony No. 1 in D minor Op. 63, "Tell Symphony"; Symphony No. 7 in D minor, "Swiss". Stuttgarter Philharmoniker conducted by Jörg-Peter Weigle.

Continuation of the Huber series. This time an immature but vivacious first and a refined and personal 7th. This time a beautiful and serene ending of the slow movement of no. 7. Much lovely Swiss folklore in orchestral dress!

"If you're looking for well-crafted, harmonically comfortable, but consistently and enjoyably listenable Romantic music of the German school, give this a shot. You won't be sorry." - ClassicsToday.com

"Both works are most affectionately pointed and spun by Weigle and the Stuttgarters who must know more about Huber and his style than any other orchestra. This is after all their fourth Huber disc for Bo Hyttner's Sterling company" - MusicWeb
