I too will always jump to the defence of Fricker and Wordsworth :) Indeed, I have done a lot more than that over the last few years on three different music forums in strongly advocated their music ;D
"Piers Plowman's Day" is an attractive work. It is a pity, that at 26 minutes, it would not fit onto the same disc as the Symphony No.1(33 minutes) and the Variations, Nocturne and Finale(24 minutes).

Looking at the R3 schedule for next week during the afternoon, there are some performances from the BBC Concert Orchestra which I assume are from the next batch of Duttons (which I hope means they are on their way soon) - music from Damase, Foulds and Loeffler which I think Tapiola has alerted us to!

I'm not so sure about this: the John Foulds items, La Belle Pierrette and the Miniature Suite are taken from the already-issued volumes 2 and 3.

Thanks for pointing that out Albion - I should have checked back on my collection before posting re the Foulds! ;)

I am told the Braunfels disc is a "stunner". Braunfels is without doubt a master of 20th Century music. Far and away a greater composer than Hindemith. Any release of his music is a good thing.
He was blacklisted by the Nazis and then by the Boulez-Stockhausen serial killers.
His time has finally come.
Be advised that opinions like "greater than Hindemth" raises greatly heightened expectations among many of us and repeating it for every Braunfels release will not necessarily make it more believable. Personally, I've not heard any Braunfels that was particularly memorable...perhaps this is his masterpiece?? . |
