ageless lyricism 18 Dec 2005
By Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I first heard 'The Banks of Green Willow' as incidental music to a BCC 'Lorna Doone' in the 1960s and wrote to the BBC to find out what this achingly beautiful piece was. 'A Shropshire Lad' is even better. The poignancy is intensified when you know that Butterworth (the dedicatee of Vaughan Williams' 'London' Symphony) died in the First World War. 'Tintagel' is grand and imposing, echoing Arthurian legend and the beat of waves round the ancient castle. This collection is absolutely authoritative, conducted by the best of all conductors of English music and wonderful value at its low price. The recording, which was first issued by Decca in the 1950s, does show its age, but it is not bad. No-one who is interested should hesitate.

The music of George Butterworth is often these days overlooked but this soaring talent tragically cut short by the first world war should always be remembered. I visit the Thiepval memorial in the Somme every year and lay a sheaf of poppies by his name inscribed on the monument as the actual site of his grave is unknown and his music is played to accompany the films of the battle of the Somme which are shown at the memorial centre . The other tracks are well worth listening tobutthe Butterworths are the jewell.

This disc has a well chosen selection of fine English Music from the Early 20th century. The performances are wonderfully alive and vibrant; it is hard to imagine better value.
