Kenneth Leighton: Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 31; Symphony No. 3 "Laudes Musicae"

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Leighton (1929-1988) wrote a kind of rigid neo-romanticism, very much in the tradition of the British composers of his generation, i.e. Arnold, Walton, and Finzi. Leighton's Concerto for Cello and Orchestra (1955) is a morose, introspective work wherein the cello weaves in and out of tonal (and sometimes atonal) background characterizations of the orchestra. Leighton's Symphony 3 (1984), subtitled Laudes musicae, is for tenor and orchestra, with the verse provided by the composer. Here, the words "sing," "singing," and "praise" are extended by melismatic phrases. The symphony is about art and music, and is quite contemplative. A surprise masterpiece. --Paul Cook
