A second album by "the Beethoven of the Lowlands", Johannes Verhulst. Presented here are a symphony and a couple of overtures this time. Now, I wouldn't dare to compare any composer to the German master if he didn't have that same paradox of controlled explosiveness in his music, which was so much Beethoven's trademark.
Verhulst's Symphony's got rhythm, that's for sure.
Lest an entire community tears one down, credits should be given where credits are due: thanks to the original uploader, one d'Avignon; and thanks to Chandos, who saved him the trouble of scanning & posting covers/booklet by most generously providing for it on their website,
A happy New Year to you all
