Reviews

‘The Waldteufel and Fetrás waltzes both come off splendidly, as do the other pieces in their varied styles. Hyperion deserve to have another success on their hands’ (Gramophone)

‘With other goodies here and fine notes this reissue is still well worth revisiting’ (MusicWeb International)» More
Jonny Heykens (1884–1945) was light music specialist, born in the Dutch town of Groningen. A violin pupil of Eugène Ysaÿe at the Brussels Conservatory, he played in various orchestras before founding his own orchestra in Groningen in 1914. Among his many light music compositions, it was above all his Ständchen (‘Serenade’) which won wide international success between the Wars.

Jonny Heykens (1884–1945), spécialiste de musique légère, naquit dans la ville hollandaise de Groningue. Élève violoniste d’Eugène Ysaÿe au Conservatoire de Bruxelles, il joua dans divers orchestres avant de fonder son propre orchestre à Groningue, en 1914. De toutes ses compositions de musique légère, ce fut surtout sa Ständchen («Sérénade») qui remporta un large succès international dans l’entre-deux-guerres.

Der im niederländischen Groningen geborene Jonny Heykens (1884–1945) war ein Meister der Unterhaltungsmusik. Am Brüsseler Konservatorium nahm er Violinunterricht bei Eugène Ysaÿe, und spielte in verschiedenen Orchestern, bevor er 1914 in Groningen sein eigenes Orchester gründete. Von all seinen Kompositionen der Unterhaltungsmusik war vor allem sein Ständchen dasjenige, das zwischen den Kriegen internationalen Erfolg genoß.
