5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music by a shamefully neglected British master, 8 Aug 2000
By dkenn10533@aol.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
Judging by the immediate appeal and effortless fluency of these works, the English composer John Gardner (born 1917) has been shamefully overlooked among composers of his generation. All the music here appears for the first time on record and is surely a must for anyone drawn to the tuneful, sometimes pastoral tradition of British music. Certainly, fans of composers like Walton and Alwyn should find something to cheer about when they listen to Gardner's "Half Holiday" Overture, or "Sinfonia Piccola". The Flute Concerto offers a different flavour, being a little reminiscent of Poulenc at the outset, but still firmly rooted in melodic ideas. The "Irish Suite" draws largely on Irish folk melodies, most beautifully realised, though its fifth and final movement is the composer's original creation. The weightiest work on offer here is the Symphony No.3 which should, one hopes, inspire someone to record Nos.1 and 2. The haunting Prelude for strings could easily find a place along Barber's famous Adagio. The performances are mostly excellent, despite the odd problem in ensemble and the sound is very fine indeed. I am left wanting to hear far more of this composer's music and would hope this CD is only the first in a series.
