Synopsis

Product Description
Lodewijk Mortelmans (1868-1952) was a key figure in the Fleminsh orchestral renaissance. He won the Prix de Rome in 1893, and used the prize money to travel to Germany and Italy to broaden his cultural experience. As a music correspondent, he kept his finger on the pulse of European musical life. Mortelmans was not musically avant-garde or adventurous. He was aware that European classical music was following a new path, but right up to his death he was unwilling to abandon romanticism. His music is deeply attractive, showing the influence of both Sibelius and Wagner. A selection of his greatest works for orchestra are recorded here. Hyperion regular Martyn Brabbins conducts the Royal Flemish Philharmonic in their first recording for Hyperion.
