Music reviews of The Jane Austen Companion
Music Review: The Jane Austen Companion CD
Rating: 5 Stars
Perfect pieces from the time period! Research was done creating this CD! I popped in in the CD player and didn't want to stop it! Repeatedly play it! Nice to relax to, reading music, quiet time, while working on projects, or just wanting to unwind! A great addition to any Jane Austen fan's collection!
Description of The Jane Austen Companion
If the people at Nimbus are smart, they'll do a whole collection of discs on this theme. The literary-musical connection is, when done tastefully, as it is here, irresistible. As the intelligent and interesting notes maintain, "London at the time of Jane Austen was one of the most exciting centers in all of Europe for music," and this was an era of great fertility of composers in general. Lucky Jane! Imagine publishing your second novel the same year that Beethoven's Seventh Symphony receives its premiere. Or offering your fourth novel to the public near the time of the first performance of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. The program highlights popular music from Austen's time by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Fasch, J.C. Bach, Boyce, Schubert and others. I find the exclusion of chamber music a little odd here, though, since chamber music was the rage among the sort of gentlemen and women of the country about whom Austen wrote so well. --Gwendolyn FreedGeneral CDs
