A collection of movements from Romantic concertos, Vol. 5, of Laserlight's Dream Melodies offers a representative sampling of popular works in the genre, yet without a coherent scheme. The slow movements from Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, and Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 exemplify the lyrical side of the concerto ...
No one should expect music of much profundity in the three string quartets of Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda, but they have much to offer in their charming melodies, strong rhythms, and pleasant moods. They deserve some critical attention as representative examples of early nineteenth century "brilliant" quartets, works composed for concert performance ...
Digging composers out of the mothballs that no one wants, or should want, to hear seems to be a special characteristic beholden to MDG executives Werner Dabringhaus and Reimund Grimm. However, occasionally an emerald pops up out of those mothballs, and the orchestral work of Donaueschingen-based early Romantic composer Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda well ...
Schubert's Der Hirt auf dem Felsen is the most familiar nineteenth century song for voice, clarinet, and piano.

All of it is written for the oboe rather ...
This lovely recording by clarinetist Karl Leister features an enchanting mix of early Romantic lieder for clarinet and soprano, plus transcriptions of early Romantic lieder for clarinet sans soprano. Some of the music is very well known: Adelaide was one of Beethoven's most popular works in his lifetime andSchubert's Ave Maria remains one of the ...
This Oehms Classics disc by violist Ashan Pillai, who is British by way of Sri Lanka, might seem to some as an example of left-field programming at its most extreme -- Schubert's beloved Arpeggione Sonata and five viola transcriptions of his familiar Schwanengesang combined with Six Nocturnes by totally unfamiliar Bohemian Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda. ...
Johann Wenzeslaus Kalliwoda, born in Bohemia, was one of the few composers whose symphonies got traction in Germany in the years after Beethoven's death.
