Bargiel: Orchestral Music Vol.1

Siberian Symphonic Orchestra; Vasilyev

Composed by: Bargiel, Woldemar

The largely forgotten Woldemar Bargiel (1824–97) was one of the best-known composers of his day, an important teacher and Clara Schumann’s half-brother. This important new recording from Toccata Classics hosts the Siberian Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Dmitry Vasilyev performing the first recordings of his only symphony and his three published orchestral overtures. The Symphony (1864) has a Beethovenian drive, and the overtures (from 1852, 1856 and 1861), which are symphonic poems in all but name, lie downstream from Schumann, with added Brahmsian weight and power.
