The LONDON CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
(Leader, SAMUEL KUTCHER )
Conducted by ANTHONY BERNAND
ODETTE DE FORAS (Soprano)
AMONG Belgian composers of today, a high place is taken by Joseph Jongen , who was born at Liege fifty-five years ago. During the War period, from 1914-1919, Jongen brought his family over to England, and many of his compositions were written here.
His Picturesque Scenes date from about this time. Nature and the open air seem to have stirred him more than once to musical painting, and in those four sketches we have delicate and charming examples of his art.
