What are you listening 2 now?

There is another recording of The Seasons by him with a Soviet orchestra. I haven't seriously compared the two recordings though.

Yeah, I haven't heard nor own the other recording you mention. I do wonder what the differences could be? Probably not much.

Just 'coz they're British doesn't mean we shouldn't be compassionate! 

But taking them to Siberia will add a stiff lower lip to the English stiff upper lip...

This is true. Okay, in the name of all things decent and honorable, Siberia is now out of the equation --- they'll be dropped off in North Korea now. There! I hope they're happy now!

NP:

Glazunov
Symphony No. 8 in E-flat, Op. 83
USSR Ministry of Culture SO
Rozhdestvensky



Yet another gorgeous performance of a masterful symphony, which actually turned out to be Glazunov's last. He never finished what would be his 9th.

A recent bargain purchase from Presto:



The Kletzki / Suisse Romande 5th is not at all bad.

Englund: 1st Symphony "War".

Presumably an ADD recording from 1979 which is very good indeed. Turku Philharmonic conducted by Pertti Pekkonen.

[Irons]

Boyle: The Magic Harp

This is a relatively short orchestral work at just over 10 minutes but it is a fine composition. She was a fine orchestrator.


I also found Elegy, a short work for cello and orchestra which is also very fine.

There is also a string quartet which I will investigate later. One needs to concentrate fully on a string quartet.

Thanks for link. Lovely piece and Boyle is not out of place sharing with the other two slightly better known composers on this recording. The walking bass line Boyle often uses in her music I find reminiscent of Elgar.

[Tsaraslondon]

An exciting performance of Berlioz's endlessly fascinating Symphonie Fantastique is here preceded by a terrific performance of Dutilleux's Métaboles.
