Fesca: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3


“This is major, major stuff….. Fesca’s music fairly sizzles with energy here, and the NDR orchestra plays with the passionate intensity and textural clarity the music requires. Add excellent recorded sound and a first-rate booklet essay from Bert Hagels and you have a release that deserves the strongest recommendation” --International Record Review








"CPO have scored again with this splendid disc of symphonies by the heretofore unsung Friedrich Ernst Fesca. This is lively, buoyant playing of music that should most certainly be heard in the concert hall. A contemporary of Beethoven and a harbinger of Brahms, Fesca was known primarily as a violinist. This excellent performance by Frank Beermann and the Berlin Radiophilharmonie proves that he was a composer of considerable merit." --Kevin Sutton, MusicWeb International
