In July the chorus and orchestra of English National Opera under Martyn Brabbins will record four pieces by Havergal Brian:
Overture "For Valour" (1902/06) Fantastic Variations on an Old Rhyme (1907) Cantata "The Vision of Cleopatra" for soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, chorus and orchestra(1908) (realised by John Pickard) Two Choral Pieces for female voices and orchestra (formerly known as Two Herrick Songs) (1912)
The two purely orchestral works featured on Naxos cds originally issued in the 1990s and both together with the work previously known as the Two Herrick Songs on old Cameo Classics cds in amateur performances by the City of Hull Youth Orchestra.
This will be a very well-stocked cd with over 70 minutes of music. Personally I would have liked a new recording of Psalm 23 and, perhaps, "In Memoriam" but no doubt these will follow in time.
More proof that Dutton seem to be alive and kicking :)
