A terrific recording 30 Jun 2007
Format:Audio CD
If, nowadays, a black man were to come to London, marry a white woman, produce a son, then dump the pair of them and vanish, it would not cause a great deal of interest. However, when this occurred in the 1870s, the collected dropping of genteel Victorian jaws must have been deafening.

Happily, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the product of this unhappy union, rose above the social prejudices of that era and went on to compose some very fine music. I purchased this excellent CD on the Marco Polo label, because it contained his Petite Suite de Concert, which I very much enjoyed; but it also contains a number of other Coleridge-Taylor's splendid compositions, including the Hiawatha Overture and the Gypsy Suite.

The RTE Concert Orchestra, Dublin, is skilfully conducted by Adrian Leaper, which makes this a much sought-after recording.

Variable Feast 28 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
This issue is very well deserved and I'm especially pleased to find the set of Four Characteristic Waltzes included, as I had for years wanted to see this recorded. It's a delight and the unexpected contrasts are very well brought out. Petite Suite de Concert clearly merits a place here but, having been brought up on George Weldon's account (recently re-released), I found this a bit colourless by comparison. The rest of the programme is more than adequate but I suspect that this could be an acquired taste so maybe it isn't a CD to buy on impulse.

Romantic and atmospheric 24 Aug 2008
By Charles Elford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The Hiawatha Overture is quite different to The Song of Hiawatha (which if you haven't heard, you definitely should) coming as it did a little later than the choral piece. The Othello Suite here is particularly engaging (written for a London Stage Production) and is reminiscent of a film score. Romantic and atmospheric.

Coleridge-Taylor does it again 3 Jan 2007
By Eugene B. Kordahl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I've only recently become aware of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and his beautiful, melodic compositions. Well, this CD has become a well played and recommended favorite of our family. The overall presentation of his music is smooth and comforting to any person interested in classical music in the Romantic tradition.
