Granville Bantock: Cyprian Goddess Symphony auf CD

Product-Information:

Sir Edward Elgar described Bantock as having ‘the most fertile musical brain of our time’. The Cyprian Goddess, Bantock’s Third Symphony, was written as he crossed the Pacific Ocean. The music plays continuously, but consists of a variety of contrasting sections, and the feeling of a story or succession of images is striking. Bantock’s dream of Aphrodite and of a happier time is vivid and gripping. The world-famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vernon Handley here see their third in a series of Bantock recordings, all of which have met with consistent praise.

Rezensionen

'Hyperion's third collection of orchestral works by Sir Granville Bantock, a composer who rivalled Elgar in his day, is quite simply superb' (The Scotsman)

'Outstanding. A sumptuous wallow for all unashamed Romantics' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Full marks, Hyperion - now we can all wallow once more. Worth the price for the sumptuous sound alone!' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Just as good as its predecessors. Roundly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)

'The finest large symphonic recordings of the decade. The burnished colors of Bantock's singular music - moody, quirky, haunting - glow under the direction of Vernon Handley' (Fi, USA)
