Description:

The Rhine River has been a source of much romantic and folkloric inspiration. Many composers were familiar with works based on the Rhine. Fairy tales, knight's tales, folk songs, and myths (including Rhine myths) are diverse, but many of them are romantic in nature. Performed by the Ciconia Consort, a string orchestra based in The Hague, the Netherlands. The Brilliant label has also selected, performed, and recorded music with distinctive cuts such as the late Romantic "American Pioneers" (item number: BRL 96086) and "Parisian Composers of the Early 20th Century" (item number: BRL 95734).
