    NP : IN THE FEN COUNTRY - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    It's been too long since I had a fix of RVW, I've gone for 'Fen Country' because I don't play it very often as I usually opt for the symphonies or more famous works such as Lark Ascending, I intend to rectify that and I'll definitely be playing this piece more often, it's gobsmackingly beautiful, there are extremely few composers who touch my soul like Vaughan Williams music does.


    Damn, I just couldn't help myself...


    NP : SYMPHONY # 7 : SINFONIA ANTARTICA - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    This version is the Halle orchestra and choir conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, it's a fantastic version and still sounds very good despite the recording being from 1954.

    I'm not sure I could describe it any better than that!


    I listened to all the clips, I didn't like all of them but a few were stunning, track 6 in particular really moved me. I think I need to listen to the whole work properly, it certainly sounds worthy.


    The abundance of convergent styles caused that reaction initially for me as well - there were some parts I loved and some parts I wasn't too keen on...but I found that once I listened to the whole thing several times, it all started to flow together into coherently enjoyable completeness.

    D, I would describe it as a fusion of lyrical symphonic writing reminiscent of Poledouris, Barry, McKenzie, etc - with various world music choral compositions. Think the choral pieces from The Lion King except with greater emphasis on orchestra (with some brilliant orchestrations) and a whole variety of different cultures' musical influences. There are no English lyrics so I am not sure whether or not it would set off your cheese detector - you seem to have an aversion to vocal work in certain instances but I'm not quite sure exactly what it is you do and don't like in that area - you'd really have to try the clips to be sure smile

    Symphony No. 22 in B minor 'Symphonic Ballad' Myaskovsky. I remember very early on in my listening experience getting both a copy of the Schubert unfinished and the Tchaikovsky pathetique also in b minor and falling in love with the key. It is sad and solemn without being depressing.

    NP : EXODUS FOR CHORUS & ORCHESTRA - Wojciech Kilar



    Talked myself into putting this on ( thanks to Gilles wink ), and awesome piece that's sort of a cross between Ravel's Bolero and Shostakovitch's Leningrad Symphony, 1st movement.

    I would bet that everyone knows by now that part of this work became the trailer music for Schindler's List cool

  19. Hey Tim,

    Now listening to Angelus, for soprano, mixed choir & orchestra (Kilar). Is that a part of the same work?

    Quite stunning, but a totally different style from what I'm used to hear.

    Yes, Angelus is on the same CD as Exodus. It's a seperate piece, nothing to do with the Exodus work.
