About this product
(His) Symphony is a very likeable discovery. Both middle movements display a disarming melodic felicity and assurance, and admiring glances towards Dvorák, although Stanford (his teacher) was never happy with the finale. It was first played by RCM students in 1896 (including Holst and Vaughan Williams !). Although it went down well, it gathered dust for over a century. Bostock's alert and affectionate lead enjoy making it's acquaintance... crisp and clear sound for this world premiere recording. In every respect, a solid thumbs-up [Gramophone] InchThe much-loved Hiawatha's Wedding Feast recalls the extraordinary excitement of it's first performance. Coleridge-Taylor was then 23 and the work an immediate and wild success. Parry suggested that because of the composer's West African father, Inchhe loved plenty of sound, plenty of colour, simple and definite rhythms and, above all, plenty of tuneInch. All these qualities kept it popular, and are admirably captured here the Philharmonia provide the orchestral colour, and Sir Malcolm keeps the admirable Royal Choral Society on their rhythmic toes. Richard Lewis gives a suitably romantic Onaway! Awake, beloved ! Hiawatha's Wedding Feast has been done proud in every wayInch [Gramophone]

a truly desirable project with the orchestra and recording team getting well into their stride in this cracker.(MusicWeb) [Gipps] Inchthoroughly likeable creation... The spirit of RVW hovers benignly, and well worth getting to know, especially when given with such vigour and obvious affectionInch [Butterworth] InchManchester-born... Symphony was first heard under Barbirolli, though it's origins trace back to Sibelius's Sixth... copious allusions to the Finnish master... powerfully evocative of the North, strongly argued and confidently scored... a most enterprising pairingInch (Gramophone)

exciting reading of Arnold's finest symphony from unexpected sources, coupled with enchanting CD debutants... The 5th is a marvellous symphony, perhaps his greatest - powerfully argued, confidently structured, and full of memorable invention. It is good to see it so well played and recorded in Munich, guided by Douglas Bostock who comes into his own in four extra works, which are all first recordings. Divertimento- a splendidly characterful triptych; there is much outrageous fun in the St Trinian's score - bursting with irreverent ideas and effects; and the lovely, nostalgic 'Sarabande' of Solitaire (one of his most touching tunes).(Gramophone)
