Alwyn: Symphony No. 5 "Hydriotaphia"; Sinfonietta for Strings; Piano Concerto No. 2

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This is a major release in Chandos's series of Alwyn symphonies, particularly because of the generous inclusions of the Sinfonietta for Strings and the Second Piano Concerto. The Sinfonietta is a 1970 composition that employs Alwyn's own 12-tone technique, but the overall effect--because of the strings--is one of an almost naked beauty. The Sinfonietta, perhaps more than any other composition of Alwyn's later years, tows a strict Modernist line and it's clear here that Alwyn doggedly wants to look to the future rather than languish in a romantic past. He is the bridge to the current postmoderns Tippett and Maxwell Davies. --Paul Cook

Album Details

Customer Reviews:

A rich selection of evocative music.......2003-03-10

This is what unites pieces as diverse as Perry Como's clean-cut `Magic Moments', Diamanda Galás' abrasive `Dancing in the Dark', and classical pieces by Rachmaninov, Fauré and Sibelius. Taken as a whole, this selection shines a fascinating light on Barker's vivid imagination and the music that inspires it.

A number of the pieces are taken from film soundtracks. Some of these are orchestral - two tracks from Hammer's fantasy movie `She', a piece by Danny Elfman from the soundtrack to Barker's own `Nightbreed'. Others are songs from movie musicals - Fred Astaire's `The Way You Look Tonight', a suite of songs from Disney's `Dumbo', a couple of numbers from `South Pacific', Judy Garland singing `Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. Stage musicals get a look-in too, with selections from `Candide' and `Sweeney Todd'.

There are interesting sleevenotes by Barker in which he explains his selection, and describes the tracks as `emotional pieces: sentimental, lush, dramatic, melodramatic'. This album is an ideal companion to Barker's books, plays, films and paintings, well worth buying if you're a fan of his, but also an interesting selection in its own right.

Clive's painting music.......2002-05-27

Those expecting Clive to serve up aural delirium will be quite surprised at some of his choices. Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Perry Como, Shirley Horn, and a selection from Disney's _Dumbo_ might be shocking coming from the man who has written stories like "The Midnight Meat Train" and _The Damnation Game_. Perhaps only a spot of Danny Elfman's music to Clive's film _Nightbreed_, a double shot of music from the Hammer film version of Haggard's _She_, and "Johanna" from Sondheim's _Sweeney Todd_ point to Clive's more traditional tastes. Everywhere else lighthearted fare is to be found-- visions of paradise, Christmas songs, and other gentle, playful, yet quite listenable tunes. Faure's _Requiem_ and Diamanda Galas' version of "Dancing in the Dark," both pieces of music from the last Clive film _Lord of Illusions_, make appearances, as well as parts of Bernstein's _Candide_ and Rodgers' & Hammerstein's _South Pacific_. Without doubt the strongest pieces are classical ones: Rachmaninoff's 1st movement from his 2nd Piano Concerto in C Minor and Sibelius' 3rd movement from Symphony #5 in E Flat.

The CD reflects music Clive listens to while painting, and for those who want a more intimate picture of one of the greatest imaginers alive, this selection will begin to answer the question of what Clive plays when he has brush in hand.
