But, if Nielsen does receive some attention in 2015, ponder on this:<br /><br />Give us something else, give us something new, indeed for Heaven's sake give us rather the big yawn, and let us feel that we are still alive, instead of constantly going around in deedless admiration for the conventional.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-4393991802599404172014-06-07T10:06:35.553+01:002014-06-07T10:06:35.553+01:00Have no fear Bob, we'll be inundated with Niel...Have no fear Bob, we'll be inundated with Nielsen, a big yawn for me I'm afraid (irrelevant as that point is) in 2015 when anniversary season comes round again.

Up till them I had only heard the Lyrita recordings of Symphonies 1, 2, 6, and 7. This Chandos release in modern sound was a revelation even though the performance was a tad slow. It's generally agreed that the 4th is Bax's weakest symphony, so they kind of got that out of the way and perfected the sound of the recordings while thy were at it. Nonetheless, if English repertoire interests you, this recording is a must hear.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-14115410643740212092014-06-07T08:07:21.257+01:002014-06-07T08:07:21.257+01:00Bryden Thomson recorded his Bax symphony cycle wit...Bryden Thomson recorded his Bax symphony cycle with the estimable Ulster Orchestra.
