Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
What an enjoyable and enterprising collection! Barber's Adagio we all know and love, but, in his ravishing Fantasia On A Hymn Tune, Thomas Canning (1911-59) displays a similar mastery of string sonority (and the idiom has more than a touch of Vaughan Williams's Tallis Fantasia about it). Walt Whitman's Sea Drift evidently brought the best out of John Alden Carpenter (1876-1951)--as it had Delius some three decades previously. Carpenter's evocative 1933 tone-poem serves up a heady brew indeed, a mini-masterpiece of American impressionism. Elsewhere, who could resist the indelible charms of George Whitefield Chadwick's gorgeous "Noel" (the second of his Symphonic Sketches of 1895) or Gershwin's wistful Lullaby? Arthur Foote's "Pizzicato & Adagio" (another second movement, this time from his Suite in E, Op. 67) reveals an uncommonly deft orchestral touch, Hoagy Carmichael's "Prayer And Cathedral Vision" (from his Johnny Appleseed Suite) a not unexpected melodic gift. Raymond Leppard presides over some extremely accomplished music-making from his hard-working Indianapolis band, and the engineering is basically very good indeed (though the chosen venue boasts a somewhat dry acoustic). Investigate without delay. --Andrew Achenbach
