Biography
Jacob Gade (1879-1963), who wrote the world-famous Tango Jalousie, was one of Copenhagen's leading conductors. In his waltzes we hear the sound of the 1920s and sense the mood of the days when every proper restaurant had its own orchestra. Gade was also a pioneer of cinema music, and his Kino-Musik gives a complete impression of how motion pictures were accompanied in the Golden Age of the silent film.
