Only my third run through of this box so it's not music I know very well but am enjoying it - especially the enormous disparity between the tonal, folksy pieces and the more experimental music. Next time I need to try and listen chronologically to the pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) New recording of the Elgar. My Boult/Tortelier that I've had since 1978 (on LP and later CD) sounded very flat (recording/remastering wise) last time I played it so I've been on the lookout for a more modern recording. Good coupling here - the Walton is a little known crepuscular gem. Also includes Holst's 'Invocation', a gorgeous piece of romantic pastoralism, similar to the Butterworth orchestral pieces and a short solo suite by Imogen Holst. Sawyers is quite unknown to me - a contemporary composer writing in a early to mid-20thC style. Reminiscent of Walton.

A Lark Ascending Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I bought this after watching an episode of 'Morse' several decades backs where Lewis whizzes around northern Italy with the Mandolin Concerto in the background. A wonderfully breezy record....a sort of classical equivalent to an early Pat Metheny record. I've tried playing it whilst skimming around the North Nottinghamshire Corniche in an open top but it's not quite the same. No 22 of the Mozart.

A Lark Ascending Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) The mystery composer on the first is Simon Bainbridge. SQ 6 off the latter - end of a nice little journey that I will repeat very soon. Never paid much attention until today as to how this was structured - fast, not so fast, slower, slow, with the same theme opening each movement and generating the whole of the last. Quite different to the previous two. The third movement reminded me very much of Shostakovich.
