Completed in the 1920s but unplayed until 1961, its most famous outing came in 1966, when Sir Adrian Boult presided over a BBC-sponsored rendition at the Royal Albert Hall. Even Mahler never contemplated a work on quite this scale, although he too found inspiration in Goethe's Faust. Since the 1950s there has been a spasmodic, but unmistakeable, growth of interest in Havergal Brian’s music. His First Symphony, however, The Gothic, remains his most famous work, some might say his most notorious, on account of its length and the gigantic forces employed. Nevertheless it is in many ways his most personal and crucial work. Before it came his songs and choral works, short orchestral pieces and the satirical opera The Tigers; after it came the long line of Symphonies Nos. 2 - 32, none of them on the same scale as The Gothic, but all affected by the experience of writing it. “I'll gently recommend this disc to anyone interested in exploring Brian...It's not an easy journey...But it is worthwhile.” Fanfare “Lenard's account still sounds well in Günter Appenheimer's expert recording.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
