Naxos

At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, salon music was a phenomenon that could be found throughout Europe and North America. It was performed in cafes, seaside resorts, cinemas, and on the radio stations that were springing up around the world. The popular melodies became part of the fabric of society, the names of the works or their composers seemingly of little importance.

Having passed through a period where it was no longer fashionable, the growing demand for 'easy-listening' music has now created a renewed interest. The programme devised for this disc brings together the popular scores from the golden era of salon music, the reputation of many of the composers residing in just one famous melody.
