Chandos’ Dutch music series continues with this second disc of Hol symphonies. As with Symphonies 1 and 3, Nos. 2 and 4 display Hol’s mastery of symphonic form, orchestration, and counterpoint. They also reveal the prevailing influence of Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms (with occasional suggestions of Dvorák). Mendelssohn figures most in Symphony No. 2, with an opening movement that rides along like many of the German composer’s tempestuous allegros, followed by a fleet-footed and colorful scherzo. Symphony No. 4 begins with a slow introduction before launching into the driving allegro proper. There’s energy aplenty in the following scherzo and much tender emotion in the adagio. The finale, like that of the Second Symphony, creates a festive atmosphere based on folk-dance rhythms.
As I said of the earlier release, this is pleasant-sounding music, but it now seems a bit ordinary, especially since there’s little significant stylistic distinction among the four symphonies. After Symphony No. 1, Hol’s melodic gifts failed to rise to the level of his models (but then, few composers of the 19th century managed that, which is probably why the list of “greats” remains pretty consistent). This certainly doesn’t prevent Matthias Bamert (whose enthusiasm for the obscure and the neglected seems unflagging) from serving up another pair of spirited performances with the Residentie Orchestra. Chandos’ full-sounding recording is a little less bright than its usual productions, but otherwise it’s fine. Recommended for those who’d like to step outside the standard repertoire, but not too far.–Victor Carr Jr
