performed by Diogenes Quartett, Manuel van der Nahmer (cello)
composed by George Onslow, Luigi Cherubini

Germany's CPO label has specialized in the revival of disused repertory from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. It's a worthwhile enterprise in view of the likelihood that it's bound to uncover some number of genuinely top-notch pieces lost to history for one reason or another, the reason all too often being the bias shown toward ...

George Onslow: String Quintets, Opp. 38 & 67 (2006) more music like this

performed by Quintett Momento Musicale
composed by George Onslow

Although born in 1784, French composer George Onslow stands firmly on the early Romantic side of the late Classical/early Romantic divide. Although Onslow's approach to form clearly owes much to Mozart's example, his approach to content is just as clearly early Romantic in its orientation. Indeed, it could fairly be said that when it came to ...

Georges Onslow: Symphonies 1 & 3 more music like this

performed by NDR Philharmonic Orchestra (Hannover), Johannes Goritzki (conductor)
composed by George Onslow

Contemporary with Berlioz, Cherubini, and Gossec, Georges Onslow contributed to the small body of French symphonies at a time when opera reigned supreme in Paris and the influence of Beethoven was only beginning to be felt. In Onslow's hands, the Classical form undergoes Romantic expansion and heightened drama, though not as extreme as Berlioz's ...

Onslow: Piano Trios, Vol. 1 more music like this

performed by Trio Cascades
composed by George Onslow

George Onslow was of English descent, was trained by Bohemian-Austrian composers (Reicha and Dussek), and worked for most of his life in France. The second of these three nationalities is the most audible in his music, which has few French traits. Indeed, in the opera-dominated French musical world of the early nineteenth century, he would have ...

performed by Ensemble Concertant Frankfurt, Gianluca Luisi (piano)
composed by George Onslow

The son of expatriot English Lord Edward Onslow and noble French woman Marie-Rosalie de Boudeilles of the Brantôme family, the prize pupil of Bohemian composer Antoine Reicha, and the director of the Académie des Beaux-Arts -- and thus the highest official representative of instrumental music in France -- George Onslow (1784-1863) was nearly ...

performed by Bamberg Trio
composed by George Onslow

George Onslow is one of those composers whose fame unfortunately faded after his death. As a further insult to his reputation, even by the end of his career, the renown of his music was eclipsed by that of Beethoven's, Mendelssohn's, and others. At a time when large stage and orchestral works were all the rage in France, his strength was his ...

George Onslow: Nonet; Grand Septuor (2008) more music like this

performed by Consortium Classicum (chamber ensemble)
composed by George Onslow

The two large chamber works on this album were written in the late 1840s, at the end of English-French composer George Onslow's life. The large chamber groups involved look back to Beethoven's Septet, Op. 20, and beyond that to the divertimento tradition, and they are harmonically pretty standard, with large plans rooted in the post-Classical era ...

performed by Borealis Wind Quintet
composed by Adolphe DesLandres, Charles Édouard Lefebvre, George Onslow, Paul Taffanel

By the mid-nineteenth century, wind instruments had developed technically to the point that they had the versatility and reliability to attract renewed attention from composers of chamber music. The Romantic era saw the standardization of the wind quintet as an ensemble, and the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn began to ...
