This review is from: RYELANDT: Chamber Music - In Flanders Fields Vol. 55 (Audio CD)
Joseph Ryelandt (1870-1965) was born and died in Bruges where he studied law until Edgar Tinel took him in has his sole student of composition. I knew absolutely nothing of his music before I came across this CD of his chamber music, but apparently he was one of Belgium's eminent post-romantic composers whose grand oratorios and five symphonies were once well known and admired. Volume 55 of Phaedra's indefatigable "In Flanders' Fields" edition, discovering little known and lost Belgian music, brings us some chamber music (1901 Piano Quintet in a-minor and the 1903 String Quartet No.2 in f-minor) that, like volume 51 (Jef van Hoof) makes me want to hear much more of this composer. The music here really doesn't sound as much late-romantic in the 20th century vain as it does classical-romantic in the Beethoven-Brahms-Mendelssohn vain, but when has that ever kept listeners from enjoying chamber music? The works are not derivative nor do they sound like Ryelandt's craftsmanship was not up to the task: the CD means a worthy discovery for me and is a winner all-around.(From [ionarts - Best Recordings of 2008 - "Almost List"])
