Jadassohn / Brandenburg State Orchestra Frankfurt Symphonies Nos. 1-4 CD

SYMPHONIES NOS. 1-4 JADASSOHN / BRANDENBURG STATE ORCHESTRA FRANKFURT Salomon Jadassohn, once known to generations of music students for his music theory writings, was quickly forgotten as a composer soon after his death. Next to Carl Reinecke, however, Jadassohn was regarded as the leading composer of the so-called Leipzig School. As an instructor at the Leipzig Conservatory, he enjoyed an outstanding reputation as an educator of many famed, future composers. Jadassohn's four symphonies, composed 1860-88, occupying an important though not a central place in his curve, tend toward the academic and craftsman (though in the best sense of the term).
