5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping "classical music" alive, 23 Jun 2009
By M. Hayward "Dr Soil" (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Julian Anderson (b.1947) has not been hyped, but has emeged as a composer of bold, brilliant scores. I purchased this disc as it is the last featured item in "1001 Classical Recordings to Hear Before You Die", and I believe that there is life in the long western tradition of art music. Anderson's music sustains this belief for me. I will listen repeatedly to this CD of colourful, rich and melodic music. Don't expect to whistle or hum any tunes while you work, but meolody is an important aspect of this composer's art, along with an acute ear for colour. The headline piece, Book of Hours, is the longest and uses live electronics as a colouring device. The other pieces, apart from four luminous choral items, use conventional orchestral forces, but in imaginative and virtuosic ways. Just listen. Don't worry about where the music is going. The ear is bewitched. Many years ago I read a review of a Ligeti recording which called it "high class fantasy for all the family", and so it is with this music. The review also said that, while you might want to acquire your umpteenth version of Beethoven's ninth, the one of the Ligeti would sustain you. The same with Anderson. The informative and non-technical notes are helpful.
