To be respected by Franz Liszt as a composer was praise enough, to be praised by him was almost a knighthood. And this was bestowed upon Adolf Jensen, who came from Königsberg and amongst other things was active as a composer in Baden-Baden. Under its chief conductor Pavel Baleff, the fabulous Philharmonie Baden Baden portrays him on their new GENUIN CD. The Wedding Music, On the Road to Emmaus, the Heiress of Montfort: he who immerses himself in the passionate sounds will certainly be immediately hooked on someone who has almost been forgotten. Top scores for audacity, spirit of discovery and the high level of musicality of this world premiere recording!
