Phillip Sear plays a sequel to the popular 'Blumenlied' (Flower song) by the German composer Gustav Lange (1830-89).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The German composer Gustav Lange (1830-89) was very popular in the 19th century for ' Blumenlied ' , 'Eidelweiss ' and other salon pieces. Unlike many of his contemporary composers for the parlour and salon who racked up apparently large catalogues of works by giving individual opus numbers to short pieces, Lange was genuinely prolific. For example, his Op. 171 'Lieder Blüthen' is a set of no less than 23 fantasies on popular songs of the day, by composers including Franz Abt, Reichardt and Conradin Kreutzer. Lange's original 'Blumenlied' was very popular, and like so many composers of his time (including Brahms, with his 'Neue Liebesliederwalzer') he sought to capitalise on this by writing a piece with the same title but with 'new' in front of it. Alas the sequel never achieved the same popularity, but it is an attractive piece nonetheless. You can hear the original Blumenlied in my earlier video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KJ2UUoAnt4 Do tell me which you think is the best piece.
