5.0 out of 5 stars Six down, One to go!, 6 Mar 2003
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
So, here is the penultimate issue in the Naxos survey of Bax symphonies.

First: a recap -

David Lloyd-Jones have been doing an excellent job in this symphonic cycle. The conductor has taken on two frequent criticsms of Bax: that his symphonies are structurally weak and that they meander - and his has thrown them back in the critics faces with propulsive and tightly held together accounts that show them to be coherent well argued works. Add to this the crystal clear sound and attention to musical detail and the series so far has been a triumphant success.

Now to the Sixth Symphony -

From the first few bars it is obvious that something is different. The sound is richer and more full bodied than on previous recordings. This may be due to a new recording venue: Glasgow Royal Concert Hall rather than the Henry Wood Hall. It may be a response to the music. The first few bars have a whiff of incense and an evocation of Arabia about them. From here on we are treated to the sound of Bax at his richest, he appears to be returning to the impressionistic sound world of his pre first world war pieces, but with an assurance and on a scale that he could not have contemplated then.

The companion pieces are well chosen. Into the Twilight is an early rich and ripe tone poem that shows both the continuity of Bax's works and how far the composer had advanced in the 26 years between it and the sixth symphony. The final piece Summer Music is a nine minute homage to Delius.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable disc and one that will leave you impatient for the final instalment of the cycle, symphony number seven, which will, apparently, be released before the end of 2003*.

*As indeed it was, an October 2003 release.
