"It's typically Swiss, perhaps, to overlook one of your country's major composers to such an extent that the first commercial recording of his finest works has been made by a British orchestra (albeit with Swiss money). Volkmar Andreae not only conducted the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra for 40 years, but also wrote luscious music reminiscent of Franck, Stravinsky and Strauss, yet with a zest all its own. Conducted by Marc, his grandson, this selection includes his remarkable First Symphony and the dramatic Music for Orchestra, which seems like the soundtrack for some undisclosed melodrama. A delightful rediscovery." Richard Morrison
