Has Ed Gardner recorded the Apostles. i dont think he has? Be worth getting as the excerpt, with the schofar, was very well played and the interpretation spot on.

Doubtful. Not that many parallel 5ths in Copland, perhaps more in Puccini territory wherein he throws in the 3rd, a sort of simplified Debussy.Originally posted by Oliver View Post
Vaughan Williams tends to be Über English to the Americans, at least when they can spell his name correctly, which is often a disaster on American message boards.
Whatever. Let the Americans have their place in the sun, and any country which has produced a Gershwin is cause for major celebration. I rate him very highly -I adore his music- what a tragedy he left us so young. Can you imagine what he might have given us had he lived longer?
No British composer at the time could match Gershwin for sheer spontaneity of music making. IMO of course.Comment

That part-song that Elgar wrote late in his ife, what was it called, around 1928? Very moviong. Not like Elgar at all. Sparse!Don’t cry for me

Owls?Comment

I think it was Owls, with its repeated calls of "nothing". Yes it is sparse in effect, and it was in the Bridcut film, but it's from the Four Part-Songs, op. 53, which were published in 1907.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostComment

Yes - one had to look that up, because the documentary gave the strong impression that Owls was a late work.Originally posted by Pabmusic View PostComment

Sospiri did it for me ....
i felt this programme did its worthy best to make us nudge Elgar a fair bit higher in our estimation, and i am in complete agreement with that .... i suspect his greatness is masked by being British [we don't do greatness eh]According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Looking at all those photos and images especially in later years, I just can't help thinking about that moustache, and soup, and, erm, osculatory interference. I wonder what the two Alices and that other woman really thought....Comment

I liked the device of showing the conductors and commentators listening and reacting to the music, it establishes a rapport with this audience member that talking heads can't always match. By the way, Michael Kennedy's seemed to possess an enviable collection of original letters from Elgar; not so easy to come by.Comment

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
