These are world première recordings in Sterling's Romantic Swiss music series. Hans Huber was amongst the leading musical personalities in the German-speaking part of Switzerland in the years around the beginning of the 20th century. He was born in 1852 in a small community in the north-west Swiss canton of Solothurn. He studied under Carl Reinecke in Leipzig and subsequently taught music in Alsace from where he made his first contacts with musical life in Basel where he moved in 1877.

The was the first digital recording of the B Minor, recorded in '82 and released on Eurodisc back in about '84. Since then, other recordings may have been more "polished" and may have added more spectacular sound (though the sound here is very natural and beautifully soft-focussed and grainy) but none conveys as much healthy love and devotion and none has such a fine ensemble of soloists (the much-missed Lucia Popp, Theo Adam, Carolyn Watkinson et al) and so committed a choir…

Mildly original and fairly talented, Felix Draeseke (1835-1913) had only two problems as a composer: he wasn't as original as Wagner or as gifted as Strauss. While Wagner could compose brave new works, Draeseke could compose only modestly innovative works, and while Strauss had the ability to compose pretty much any work he wanted, Draeseke had the ability to compose variations on works that already existed.

Mildly original and fairly talented, Felix Draeseke (1835-1913) had only two problems as a composer: he wasn't as original as Wagner or as gifted as Strauss. While Wagner could compose brave new works, Draeseke could compose only modestly innovative works, and while Strauss had the ability to compose pretty much any work he wanted, Draeseke had the ability to compose variations on works that already existed. So while Draeseke's music is more original than, say, Brahms', it lacks the imagination to be memorable, and while Draeseke's music is more talented than, say, Bruckner's, it lacks the inspiration to be unforgettable. The works on this disc – the First and Fourth symphonies and the Overture to Gudrun – are testimony to Draeseke's abilities and his deficiencies.
