Thanks to KuhlauDilfeng2 who introduces me to musicians I don't know

Loved this late-Romantic, lush Symphony !! Features lovely, powerful tunes.

[@Oboedamore100]

I'm very lucky to find this music here. Now I know the composer Jan van Gilse any more ...

[@bowerdw]

I enjoyed my listening experience with this symphony. It has been added to my favorite symphonies colletion.

[@foveauxbear]

I really loved listening to this oddly neglected symphony. What a beautiful work, I agree with another post here, the scherzo is extremely enticing (reminds me of a Dvorak furiant a little at times). People mention the composer's sad life ... didn't they all have sad lives, more or less?

[@bobhourigan7626]

A beautiful composition by a composer unknown to me. Thks for the introduction.

[@lightspeed174]

What a really nice symphony. I wasn't familiar with this composer at all. Thanks for posting this. I will listen to this often.

[@fulviopolce9785]

Interessante composizione di carattere tardoromantico. Lo sviluppo è di tipo astratto di provenienza tedesca (Brahms). L'esecuzione e registrazione è ottima. Bel post.

Remarkably tuneful and evocative work.

Another beautiful work and surprisingly a Dutch composer. Sorry he had such a sad life. Beautiful symphony. Thank you!

[@SuperArkleo]

Many thanks for posting!

[@markvandelogt2646]

Thanks for posting! I was unfamiliar with Van Gilse. He has an interesting (and tragic) life story as well.

[@isidoroap]

Thank you very much for posting! Wonderful unknown composer till today! An attempt by the German occupiers to destroy all of van Gilse's work was prevented by his collaborators.

[@sergiocampanale3882]

Beautiful example of the early 1900s bombastic romanticism that would become part of the musical language throughout the century .... Also, I keep hearing so much of James Horner's early film music here (in particular Battle Beyond the Stars and Star Trek II) He was known to borrow heavily from the symphonic epics of this period...Wonder if he knew Van Gilse and was influenced by him?

It's on my bucket list to listen to every symphony KuhlauDilfeng2 has uploaded. Can I do it?

[@donaldhoyle7889]

I wouldn't bank on it. The man is indefatigable in placing an endless list of amazing works from should-be-much-more-well-known composers on KZbin.

A very fine work...and great 'discovery'.....Thanks from San Agustinillo!

[@wielandwittmann9832]

I completely agree with you and I'm really delighted to read from you again. Hope that you are ok. Lots of hugs from Bavaria. 🙋🙌

@@wielandwittmann9832 -- Thank you, Dear Wieland! Sadly, the stock market and Chinese pandemic conspired to force postponement of my barge cruise along the rivers of Europe...to Bavaria where I hoped we could pass an afternoon together discussing and listening to music while enjoying Knödel and Weißwurst with a bottle of Frankenwein.

Très beau ! Merci beaucoup pour le partage.

Unfortunately Dutch music is rarely heard in Dutch concert halls like it's not good enough. This music is lovely to hear on a sunday evening.

the whole thing is good but man, that scherzo...

[@fredwheeler7433]

Our family reveres the music of the Composer Max Bruch.

[@SuperArkleo]

And, because of this, music of Gilse is what? good, bad, so so, or what else? And, why the whole world should know that Max B. is your favorite composer. I like Max very much, but I also like many others. However, I do not provide a list of my favorite composers on the web. Incidentally, do you like violin concerto.by Hindemith?

May I leak that to the press? Also, What are your family's favorite foods?
