Beautiful music from this little noticed Welsh composer. Neoclassicism meets pastoralism. Echoes of Stravinsky, Tippett, Britten.

No 2 - sounded wonderful this morning. Britten clicked with me instantly all those years ago but it took a lot longer to get inside Tippett's music (in terms of enjoying it and being engaged by it). No. 4 on here is a gem too.

Extraordinary piece. I'd love to hear this one live.

Your repeated postings showing the Schneider Quartet set remind me to pull if off the shelf and continue working my way through these glorious recordings.

A few RVW pieces in a more neoclassical style than is usually associated with him, scattered over various discs:

  • Violin Concerto
  • Concerto for Double String Orchestra
  • Concerto Grosso

The lambkins are still there.
