Product Description

From Amazon.com
If the people at Nimbus are smart, they'll do a whole collection of discs on this theme. The literary-musical connection is, when done tastefully, as it is here, irresistible. As the intelligent and interesting notes maintain, "London at the time of Jane Austen was one of the most exciting centers in all of Europe for music," and this was an era of great fertility of composers in general. Lucky Jane! Imagine publishing your second novel the same year that Beethoven's Seventh Symphony receives its premiere. Or offering your fourth novel to the public near the time of the first performance of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. The program highlights popular music from Austen's time by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Fasch, J.C. Bach, Boyce, Schubert and others. I find the exclusion of chamber music a little odd here, though, since chamber music was the rage among the sort of gentlemen and women of the country about whom Austen wrote so well. --Gwendolyn Freed

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, 14 Sep 2007
By vessie@oz (Australia) - See all my reviews
A great price for such a beautiful CD. This CD is a must have if you love Jane Austen. The music is just beautiful and I could not praise it highly enough. This CD is one of my favourites in my collection. So much so that I have recommended it to my friends and have brought some copies for gifts. BUY this CD, you will not be disappointed!!!
