Alexandre Denéréaz (1875-1947)

[M. Henriksen]

I've never heard of this Swiss composer before, and I haven't been able to find much information about him or his music. But since he was a pupil of Draeseke maybe some members here can tell us a bit more?

An interesting release of some orchestral music:

Has anyone heard the music on this CD? I purchased it anyway, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hear...

My copy came today. First impressions: pure hokum. But enjoyable.

Hokum? Aha! I had to check my dictionary..
