Pages Intimes by J. Jongen, released 29 January 2015.
This version of Pages Intimes comes as a 1xCD. - ORCH.PHIL.ROYAL DE LIEGE/JEAN-PIERRE HAECK
In exile in London during World War I, Joseph Jongen (Liège, 1873 - Sart-lez-Spa, 1953) composed there numerous works. This CD brings together some of his pieces for orchestra, whose masters are called Franck, Wagner, Debussy and Ravel. His symphonic works from the Great War period compel recognition as the last vestiges of a world on which the language of late romanticism had still left a reassuring mark.
