Devreese: Symphony No.1/Poème Héroique/In Memoriam

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The music of the Belgian-born Devreese (1893-1972) shows a heavy French influence, with distinct distillations of French Impressionism. This tonal, romantic symphony is subtitled "The Gothic" because, as a young soldier in France, he was exposed to various Gothic cathedrals. It is colorful and dynamic, and in places uplifting--which it perhaps had to be, since it was written in 1940, with World War II well underway. His Poeme Heroique is a dark tone poem based on a legend told to him by an aunt, something of a fairy tale that ends well. Most listeners will find the music on this disc to be very engaging. --Paul Cook
