A Lark Ascending Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Harrison Birtwistle (another of NMC's no composer series). 'The Triumph of Time' is like listening to rocks form in real time. There's a famous phrase somewhere about feeling something long before you understand it. Fits this music perfectly - I can't follow the narrative (if it has a narrative) but it has a mighty impact.

A Lark Ascending Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Have had this a few years and don't get on with the PC - very much in the 19thC 'come and watch me strive and suffer' tradition. The other pieces are much more attractive.  Op. 127. Really like this one - a gorgeous slow movement and a tremendous whirlwind of a trio in the scherzo. Odd to be listening to liturgical music whilst painting the bathroom but I really enjoyed this. Maxwell Davies at his most approachable, clearly writing for accessibility and utility. Wonderfully dramatic and colourful contemporary music. A composer it's not too hard to get your head round.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Disc 4: Hamburger Concerto; Double Concerto; Ramifications; Requiem The 'Karelia Suite' and 'Overture' were some of the first classical pieces to attract me - here you get the whole score. Never previously realised the overt Wagnerisms in the music - the Overture has a pretty breezy passage for several minutes before shifting into the minor, reminiscent of the transition from "Siegfried's Rhine Journey" to the court of the Gibichungs in "Gotterdammerung". "Kuomela" has both "Valse Triste" and the incredibly haunting "Scene with Cranes" within their original setting. This is a record I return to frequently.  Edited March 24, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 CD 2 off Spotify. A CD collection of things from the old L'Oiseau-Lyre label. I have the first pictured LP from the 70s but this compilation only takes The Hymn to St Magnus from there. Largely from his wild man years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
