Elgar - Symphony No.1 - Barbirolli - Live 1970 - BBC Legends 2006

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)

track01: Introduction & Allegro for Strings, Op.47 (1904-05)

track02-05: Symphony No.1 in A flat, Op.55 (1907-08)

Halle Orchestra

conductor: sir John Barbirolli

(recorded live at the 1970 King's Lynn Festival)

BBC Legends 2006

Mahler permitting, the most beautiful late-Romantic symphony (not only) in its most compelling release (despite a far from perfect sound quality) ... a flood of feelings that follow and weave held together by poignant main theme of matrix Baroque ... Sir John Barbirolli conducts his beloved Halle Orchestra, with his usual vigor and with a touch of melancholy that made him a conductor unique and probably unrepeatable ... enjoy!

Philippe Gaubert - Symphony in F_Les Chants De Le Mer_Concert in F - Timpani 2008

Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941)

track01-04: Symphonie en Fa (1934)

track05-07: Les Chants De Le Mer (1929)

track08-10: Concert en Fa (1933)

Orchestre Philarmonique du Luxembourg

conductor: Marc Soustrot

Philippe Gaubert was a great French impressionist composer ... he is often compared in style to Debussy and Ravel, but, most of all, his model seems to be Faurè ... his music is pregnant with insights melodic, ethereal and it possesses a gently out of the ordinary ...

Sound quality: excellent!

enjoy!
