About this product
Our first featuring music for string orchestra by British composers presents works by Hubert Parry, Edward Elgar, and Gordon Jacob. The last-mentioned composer wrote a Symphony for Strings with clear contrapuntal textures and a slow introduction beginning with broadly striding octaves and dissonant sixteenth contrasts. Parry demonstrates his sovereign command of a whole range of different techniques and textures in his First Suite for String Orchestra and succeeds in producing a full, one-of-a-kind sound Very British, indeed! Edward Elgar's Organ Sonata represents a special case on this album, where it is heard in the version for string orchestra by Hans Kunstovny. Some authors even earlier spoke of the sonata as a Inchthwarted symphonyInch because of it's structure and design. The premiere of Kunstovny's Elgar arrangement was held in Pforzheim in October 2006 under Sebastian Tewinkel before Douglas Bostock included it in his program in January 2020. The present recording was produced following this concert. Kunstovny, who assigned the subtitle InchSwinnerton's DreamInch to his arrangement, was also present; it refers to the organist and choral conductor Charles Swinnerton Heap, the sonata's dedicatee, who lent his support to Elgar's works during the last decade of the nineteenth century.

Our second album with music for strings by British composers features most highly creative compositions by Sir Granville Bantock and Christopher Wilson. When Bantock reached the pinnacle of his fame, the Three Choirs Festival held in Hereford in 1912 ordered a work for string orchestra from him. The result was the four-movement Serenade for Strings, to which he assigned the subtitle InchIn the Far West.Inch Bantock's string movements are distinguished by an impressive tonal richness. After the performance Douglas Bostock remarked InchI am truly amazed - this is anything but a 'Serenade,' as the innocuous title suggests. The succinct, symphonically developed music is nothing other than a string symphony with a demanding writing style representing a genuine tour de force.Inch Moreover, extensive recorded material documents the Scottish melodies used by Bantock in his Scenes from the Scottish Highlands. For them he chose the finely managed of three fast dances separated by two euphonious slow movements. The six short movements in traditional or dance style forming Christopher Wilson's Suite for String Orchestra made it something new and fresh when it was premiered in 1901, and it came over very well. It is thought that one of the composer's goals was to connect with the tradition of Johann Sebastian Bach.

The fourth volume of this diverse and instructive series presents itself as a Inchgroup portrait with a ladyInch. In this installment, Douglas Bostock and the Southwest German Chamber Orchestra Pforzheim continue their exploration of British string music history. Representing the Inchfairer S*xInch among her colleagues is Imogen Holst, daughter of the renowned composer of The Planets. Of all the composers featured, she employs the most advanced musical language. Nevertheless, they are all united by a shared artistic ethos they creatively follow in the footsteps of the old masters, devising various ways to bridge the spirit of past centuries with their own time. This may take shape as variations or as a musical monument, but more often than not, it unfolds Inchen suiteInch - with refined taste and that distinctly British sense of conservatism.
