About
Having given us the rousing marches, sprightly polkas, and yearning waltzes of Benjamin Bilse (7773412), the West German RSO in Cologne, under its conductor Christian Simonis, now treats us to the foot-tapping music of Richard Eilenberg.
This once extremely popular composer was a trailblazer in salon and entertainment music, and his character pieces remained well-known favourites for decades. This CD opens with the galopp Cürassier Attaque and ends with a piece that constantly delights listeners, his ever-popular Petersburg Sleigh Ride.
