The ten works presented here in fact fall into some eighteen separate movements. It includes the early Undine Suite, the Prèlude Romantique followed by musical visits to Kashmir, China and Hungary, all rounded with the Gaelic Dream-Song and Basque Serenade. All are world première recordings, performed with customary panache by the BBC Concert Orchestra under the direction of Ronald Corp. Price: $25.98 |
