This fifth release brings a little bit of everything genre-wise, from the early song cycle "March Flowers" of 1860-1 (staking his place among the Liszt-Wagner school of radicals) to the 1911 Kleine Suite which was the last work Draeseke himself prepared for publication (strikingly up-to-date in its harmonies and counterpoint). In the middle are the 1877 suite of piano character pieces (often Schumannian), two lovely and lyrical horn works (1885), and an example of that uniquely German romantic form - the melodrama (a 1901 setting of a poem dealing with events in 15th century Corsica). German-English texts. [TD 77:19]

"The performances are warmly involved and distinguished. Thomas Crome and Georg Lustig offer beauty of tone and phrasing, while Wolfgang Müller-Steinbach is both a sensitive accompanist, and a fine soloist with a discriminating sense of touch." Barry Brenesal, Fanfare: March/April 2005. Read the entire review.
