Nice day of Novak listening today:
Lady Godiva (again)
Toman and the Wood Nymph Eight Nocturnes for Voice and OrchestraWell, I am sure I have made my love for the
Lady Godiva clear in above posts. It was the first time I had listened to
Toman and the Wood Nymph, what a brilliant piece it is! Absolutely thrilling! The Eight Nocturnes for Voice and Orchestra were absolutely beautiful, delightful pieces. The last two of the eight in particular, really stunning pieces. I am really fascinated by Novak's imaginative, excellent orchestration as well as the beautiful melodic sensitivity. A great composer who I am very quickly coming to admire
a lot!Tommorow, I imagine I will listen to
De Profundis from the Chandos cd and
South Bohemian Suite from the other disc for the first time.
