I was reading about the composer Jan Van Gilse (1881-1944) and a recent recording devoted to his chamber works. The disc is on NM and contains a nonet, flute trio, and unfinished string quartet. My interest in Van Gilse was aroused when I read that his music had similarities with that of Franz Schmidt who I like very much. Anyone familiar with Van Gilse's music? What's your opinion, and do you see similarities with Schmidt? The NM disc is available from EVERY CD. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
