  • Description

    With the establishment of Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens in 1843, the Danish composer and conductor Hans Christian Lumbye (1810-1874) swiftly rose to fame as the city's internationally acclaimed king of waltzes and galops, leading his orchestra from the violin. For this recording, Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Concerto Copenhagen - Scandinavia's leading period instruments ensemble - studied Lumbye's original scores and used instruments from the era to recreate an authentic sound. This collection showcases Lumbye's enchanting music, along with popular pieces by his idols, Lanner and Strauss I.
