The Naxos/Marco Polo Hans Christian Lumbye Edition represents a milestone in the recording of nineteenth-century popular music, in presenting for the first time the complete orchestral works of this ‘Nordic Strauss’. This series series of recordings is built on extensive studies and collections of scores in the national libraries and musical archives of more than five European countries. Highlights of this eleventh volume include the memorable Finale Galop from Bournonville’s ballet Napoli, with its twofold gunshot and quotation of the Neapolitan folk-song Ti voglio assai bene, and the colourful Finale Galop for a Copenhagen production of Verdi’s Il trovatore.
