Parry: Symphony No. 1; Concertstück in G minor

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Parry (1848-1918), along with Stanford, made the first stage of a three- stage rocket that got British music into the orbit of the 20th century. Between them, they taught practically every major British composer of the coming generations. Both were excellent symphonists. Parry's Symphony 1 (1891) is itself strongly influenced by Brahms and Schumann in both structure and tone, but it also has a dab of British pomp (you can hear Elgar coming over the horizon). His Concertstuck of 1877 has clear Wagnerian traits, but it is more morose than Wagner. A fine performance and recording. --Paul Cook

5 out of 5 stars Music that,s like a novel.......2005-09-19

This is a symphony that lasts forever. It never seems to stop. The meodies are solid, colorful and easy to follow. I put it on and let my mind wander, yet I always find myself back to the music. That is, I know where and what movement I am in. If you are looking sor music by a different composer, not the three "B's", then this may be it. Give it a try, you'll like it!
