Various - Jadassohn:Symphonies 1-4

Alongside Carl Reinecke, Jadassohn was regarded as the leading composer of the Leipzig School, continuing the tradition of musical romanticism inspired by Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann. Having studied with Liszt, Jadassohn later became an instructor in theory, piano, and composition - his pupils included many composers represented on CPO - such as Frederick Delius, Edvard Grieg, Ferruccio Busoni, Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek, Felix Weingartner, and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. The four Symphonies presented on these new discs are a significant part of his oeuvre.
