Stanford: | Symphony No. 6 in E flat major, Op. 94 The 1905 Sixth Symphony, by contrast, received only two hearings before succumbing to an eighty-year oblivion. The subtitle, ‘In honour of the life-work of a great artist: George Frederick Watts’, is important: Watts (1817-1904) was among the most lauded British artists of his era and Stanford’s work, if not overtly programmatic, was influenced by instances of Watt’s legacy – for example the equestrian statue in Kensington Gardens, London. Symphony No. 3 in F minor 'Irish', Op. 28 Completed in 1887, Stanford’s ‘Irish’ Symphony enjoyed immediate and widespread success, continuing to be played well into the twentieth century. The ‘Irish’ subtitle indicates its frequent deployment of folk-tunes as melodic material, although the work never strays far from the Austro-German symphonic tradition. |
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, David Lloyd-Jones “[These symphonies] could not expect to receive more devoted performances than these: David Lloyd-Jones tends the folk tunes of the Irish with loving care, and the Bournemouth players enjoy the novel instrumental touches in No 6.” The Telegraph, 24th May 2008 “In the exceptionally well-filled third volume of their Stanford series, David Lloyd-Jones and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra offer accomplished an sympathetic performances.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 **** “Another high-quality addition to David Lloyd-Jones's rewarding Stanford cycle.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
