A Lark Ascending Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 RVW was obsessed with The Pilgrim's Progress in the 1940s - the music he wrote turned up in various pieces (including what to me was his finest piece, the 5th Symphony) culminating in a full blown opera. This records his arrangement of the music for a BBC radio series of the book. Short instrumental pieces with, in this recording, a couple of lines of dialogue to establish context. Hard to take Sir John Gielgud's narration seriously....I'm constantly reminded of his Spitting Image 'Larry, darling!' puppet. For RVW completists only.

A Lark Ascending Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My first Schnittke record bought back in the late 80s. Made absolutely no sense then and I didn't follow it up. 25 years and a lot of music later I really enjoyed it. The Andueza is going to sound wonderful in the summer (sounds pretty wonderful in the damp, drizzly British winter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
