Sudwestdeutsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim - British Music for Strings IV - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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.
