A Lark Ascending Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) The gapless Rose Lake. Beautiful piece. Recall reading a review describing 'The Vision of St. Augustine' as being severe. Sounded just like that first time out...one that will take some revisiting. If one of the fashionable celebrity maestros were to champion the Wood symphony, I'm sure it could become a regular. Reminds me of the Berg Three Orchestral pieces - I'm sure I heard quotes from the Purgatorio of Mahler 10 in the Scherzo and Messiaen right at the end of the finale. The only misstep is the ending which has a very 19thC grand flourish, totally out of keeping with the rest.

A Lark Ascending Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Lovely light textured music...from the Francophile end of the early/mid-20thC British composers. Goossens seemed to live the rock and roll lifestyle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Aynsley_Goossens. Would have got on well with Jimmy Page.

A Lark Ascending Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Danish contemporary music (with ambient countryside sounds); and something I heard on the BBC Record Review programme a few days back - 16th/17thC music from South America mixing 'formal' compositions with folkier things. A bit like some of L'arpeggiata (though no Leonard Cohen covers!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) 3 RVW favourites - the Serenade to Music, 5 Mystical Songs and Flos Campi. Skipped the Christmas Carols for fear of bringing a curse for unseasonal activity. Serenade and Flos Campi are pretty well known; but I think the 5 Mystical Songs are little gems hidden away in RVW's vast catalogue - lots of those gorgeous 'distant hill' harmonic progressions.

HutchFan Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Sibelius: Symphonies & Orchestral Works / Sir John Barbirolli, Hallé Orchestra (EMI/Warner Classics) Disc 2 - Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 Listened to this CD last night and again this morning. Barbirolli's reading of the First Symphony is TRANSCENDENT! The only other version that I've heard that comes close to Barbirolli's magical touch is Stokowski's with the National PO (Columbia/Sony). Sir John's way with the Fourth Symphony is strong too -- even if it doesn't quite scale the heights of the First.
