) | Label: NCL Catalog: 8507014 Format: COMPACT DISC Royal Scottish National Orchestra; Lloyd-Jones, DavidSir Arnold Bax wrote his seven symphonies between 1921 and 1939, embracing a prolific period that drew inspiration from a variety of sources. From the dramatic impact of the Second Symphony through to the seascapes of the Fourth and hints of Sibelius in the later works, Bax’s powerful symphonic world is one of surprising and at times stormy vigor contrasting with the most intense lyrical expressiveness and serenity. The selection of additional orchestral works evoking nature and atmospheric landscapes fascinates and rewards in equal measure, providing an essential overview of Bax’s music in critically acclaimed recordings.Audio from the individual volumes can be found here:85535258555343 85540938553608 8554509855714485571458557599  Price: $69.98 |
