Our Take

Ah, Walter Braunfels, the unsung hero of German Romanticism. This album, featuring the ORF Vienna RSO and conducted by the legendary Buhl, is a hidden gem that deserves to be unearthed.

The Prelude Op. 35 kicks things off with a dreamy orchestral flourish that sets the stage for the rest of the album. The lush strings and haunting melodies transport you to a world of love and longing.

Moving on to the Divertimento Op. 42, Braunfels showcases his versatility as a composer with jaunty rhythms and playful melodies that dance around each other like old friends at a masquerade ball.

Ariels Song Op. 18 is a true standout, with its ethereal vocals floating above the orchestra like a gentle breeze on a summer day. The delicate interplay between voice and instruments is simply mesmerizing.

And finally, the Serenade Op. 20 closes out the album on a high note, with its joyful exuberance and infectious energy leaving you yearning for more. Buhl and the ORF Vienna RSO truly shine in this final piece, bringing Braunfels' music to life with passion and precision.

In conclusion, Walter Braunfels may not be a household name, but this album proves that his music is as timeless and enchanting as ever. Don Gil is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast looking to discover something truly special.
