BBC Symphony Orchestra & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham This is the first time these recordings have been made available on CD. The recording is the first performance of Alwyn’s Symphony No.3 and coupled with the Mozart Symphony No 29 was recorded by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the RFH in October 1956. The Greig was performed at Studio No 1 at Maida Vale on Christmas night, December 25th 1955 “The latest in Somm’s Beecham Collection includes the premiere of William Alwyn’s Third Symphony at the
Royal Festival Hall, in October 1956. This is a powerful and impressive work in three movements, which
reinforces Alwyn’s belatedly recognised position as one of the finest English symphonists of the 20th century.
The slow movement is of nobly tragic stature.” The Sunday Telegraph, 27th April 2008 |
