Paul Graener’s early happy years in London motivated him to gain British citizenship, but it is no secret musicians and musicologists have detoured around his music because of his allegiance with the Nazi Party. His music is anything but nationalistic; it is the work of a late romanticist with a strong inclination toward French impressionism. Having previously released his Piano Trios, cpo now turn their attention to his Orchestral Works, giving his music the recognition it deserves.
