About this product

Continuing their series of orchestral works by Sir Eugene Goossens, Sir Andrew Davis and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra turn to the Phantasy Concerto for Violin and the Second Symphony. Goossens was born in London in 1893, into a family of Belgian conductors and musicians. He trained in Brugesand at the Royal College of Music (studying composition under Stanford), played violin in the Queen's Hall Orchestra under Sir Henry Wood, and became Sir Thomas Beecham's go-to stand-in because of his ability to conduct the most demanding programmes on little or no rehearsal. Goossens gave the first UK concert performance of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps, in 1921, and in 1923 became the first music director of the newly formed Rochester Philharmonic, before succeeding Fritz Reiner, in 1931, as chief conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He spent nine years in Australia, as chief conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and was instrumental in the planning of the Sydney Opera House. Both works recorded here were composed towards the end of his life. The Second Symphony, dating from 1942-45, is a vivid and personal response to WWII. The Phantasy Concerto for Violin and Orchestra was originally promised to Heifetz, who never performed it. Having returned to London, Goossens gave the work's premiere in a BBC broadcast in July 1959, and this was followed by a Proms performance in 1960; on both occasions the soloist was Tessa Robbins. Sir Andrew Davis and his Melbourne forces perform these rarely heard works with care and finesse, and Tasmin Little shines as the soloist in the Phantasy Concerto. The album is recorded in Surround Sound. Details 1. Phantasy Concerto, Op. 63 2. I. Molto Moderato 3. II. Moderato 4. III. Largo 5. IV. Moderato 6. Symphony No. 2, Op. 62 7. I. Adagio 8. II. Andante Tranquillo 9. III. Scherzo 10. IV. Andante

The orchestral triptych of 'Meditation, Nach dem Sturm' and 'Klage' is award-winning composer Toshio Hosokawa's response to the 2011 Tohuku earthquake and tsunami. Meditation mourns the victims with a quiet song of sorrow, Nach dem Sturm uses shamanic elements to suggest stormy darkness and the hope of light, while the healing Klage seeks to connect our world with the supernatural. 'Autumn Wind' unifies man and nature through the timeless sound of the shakuhachi. The collaboration between Naxos and composer Toshio Hosokawa has been very fruitful in recent years, and this new follows on from two collections of orchestral works conducted by Jun Markl. Volme 1 of these Inchdraws magically delicate colors and rich textural intricacies from what is a profoundly attractive score.Inch (Gramophone on Lotus under the moonlight), and volume 2 Inchreinforce Hosokawa's commitment to poetic representations of human presences in the natural world.Inch (Gramophone). World-class vocal soloists in this recording include Danish soprano Susanne Elmark who has produced an aria recital for Naxos Denmark and mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura whose recordings include Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as part of Christian Thielemenn's Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra recordings on C Major. Tadashi Tajima is one of today's most respected shakuhachi players, having performed around the world. Album Tracks 1. Meditation - Basque National Orchestra 2. Nach Dem Sturm - Susanne Elmark/Ilse Eerens/Basque National Orchestra 3. Klage - Mihoko Fujimura/Basque National Orchestra 4. Autumn Wind - Tadashi Tajima/Basque National Orchestra
