I don't suppose it's of any more interest to William Alwyn's admirers that his great-grandson is Taylor Swift's boyfriend than it is to Taylor Swift's admirers that her boyfriend's great-grandfather was William Alwyn!
Hi Bob, These Lyrita recordings really are special aren't they? I am slowly purchasing the CD's and in doing so learning more about British music. Have you seen any of the Proms yet? John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London played Bax and Tintagel, magical.. This is available now on CD as SRCD230.
I adore this piece,which I've never heard of!! Its angelic feel is like a balm for the soul,especially HERE in your post,where people can enjoy a marvellous recorded sound (reproduced through state-of-the-art equipement)!! Thank you so much for this rare jewel,that shows me how beautifully it's still possible to compose a concerto using a completely tonal language(with some modal moments that look back at the early orchestral works of Debussy)! Greetings from Genova! Sergio
Oh my! I've been waiting for someone to upload this version of Lyra Angelica. As far as I can see, your upload is the only one of the Lyrita recording (and what a wonderful LP it is too). My grateful thanks :)
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieses neoromantischen und fein komponierten Konzerts mit schimmerndem Klang der genialen Soloharfe sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Insrumente. Der letzte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lebhaft. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!
