Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For those who missed out on this disc first time round, here is a second (and cheaper) chance to discover the glowing music of Granville Bantock (1868-1946). The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, an often underrated ensemble these days, excels itself in this emotional music. The players seem positively inspired by that most musical of British music advocates, Vernon Handley. The superb, clean and clear recording highlights the lush, tender textures of the Celtic Symphony (scored for string orchestra and no fewer than six harps!). Handley ensures that the indications for each movement are faithfully followed: the lightened string tone for the third movement highlights the marking of tenerezza, and the final Largamente Maestoso fully lives up to expectations. The Witch of Atlas is an extended tone poem (with as delicate an opening as can be imagined). The Hebridean Symphony is the heftiest work on the disc and is presented with the utmost conviction. Throughout Handley takes extreme care to ensure clarity of texture, so that music which could easily become congested instead carries just the right amount of weight. Bantock has a clear, engaging and convincing compositional voice. And this disc is just the right place to discover it. --Colin Clarke
