Gouvy/ Quatuor Cambini-Paris/ Mercier - Cantate Oeuvres Symphoniques Et Musique de Chambre

Theodore Gouvy's music, Mendelssohn-inspired, is enobled with an air of French academicism. The 'Portraits' series is devoted to largely forgotten French composers. This CD-book presents a significant selection of his works - for the most part never heard before. The book contains biographical information, excerpts from letters and articles discussing the composer's style and personality.
