Notes & Reviews:

"Your name graces Berlin so nicely, / You highly honored Bilse! / And so we congratulate you thricely: / Johanna, Grete, and Ilse." A composer whose name was celebrated in public in such rhymed tributes must have been a popular fellow. And Benjamin Bilse, the conductor of the Bilse Orchestra in Berlin, was indeed a popular fellow if there ever was one. When he left Berlin in 1885 to retire to Liegnitz, riots were feared, and police forces were kept in readiness just in case. Bilse was an all-around musical talent, and one of the best conductors and orchestra leaders in Germany - with his orchestra later becoming the Berlin Philharmonic. He was also a gifted composer of rousing marches, sprightly polkas, and yearning waltzes placing him in a class with Strauss, Labitzky, and Lumbye.
