Music reviews of Lumbye: Champagne Galop, etc. Complete Orchestral Works Vol. 1
Music Review: "The Strauss Of The North"
Rating: 5 Stars
As a champion of rare light music, this series is a true gem to me. The prolific Hans Christian Lumbye, who was appropriately called, the "Strauss of the North," produced most of his compositions in Copenhagen. He started out as a trumpeter (also played the violin). A contemporary of Johann Strauss, he too was bitten by the "Strauss" bug, when he attended some concerts which played music by the Waltz King and his brother, Josef. Thereafter, Lumbye soon formed his own orchestra and embarked on a new career as a composer of light music. His success was almost instant, establishing himself as, of course, the Strauss of the North! In 1843, Lumbye was asked to be the conductor for the orchestra of the newly constructed Tivoli amusement park. Hence a long lasting relationship was to form between the two. Those of you who are ballet fans, should realize that apart from writing compositions for waltzes and marches, Lumbye also collaborated with several others on a number of scores for Bournonville's ballets--most notably, Napoli. As for this CD, no one can do a better job than the Tivoli Symphony Orchestra (after all, they weren't Lumbye's former orchestra for nothing!). Though this first CD of the series may not have the best acoustics (music tends to sound a little distant), it [series] does improve by the third installment. This minor flaw aside, the CD gives you some of Lumbye's best known works, such as the ever popular "Champagne Galop," "Salut for August Bournonville, Galop," and the "Amelie Waltz," just to name a few. Giordano Bellincampi, though an Italian, conducts this Nordic music beautifully. True, others have also made recordings of Lumbye's music (I like the one by Rozhdestvensky. His tempo is somewhat slower than Bellincampi's.), but this series has Lumbye's own orchestra playing what they play best. And it costs less than its competitions. So you get the best of both worlds!
