Onslow: Symphonies 1 & 3

Beginning about 1830 a distinct French tradition of instrumental music was able to establish itself - not least owing to the four symphonies penned by Onslow between 1829 and 1846. In these works, as in his wonderful chamber music, Onslow demonstrates that he is an absolute master of classical form, and the Paris press soon was raving about "our French Beethoven." The complete series with the NDR Radio Philharmonic under Johannes Goritzki concludes with the Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3.
