New classical batch is here:
Ralph Vaughan Williams • 49th Parallel: the complete music written for the film - BBC Concert Orchestra/Martin Yates
[SACD Hybrid Multi-Channel & Stereo]
Albert Ketèlbey • Rare Works - BBC Concert Orchestra/Martin Yates
[SACD Hybrid Multi-Channel & Stereo]
Edward Elgar • String Quartet & Piano Quintet + Albert Sammons • Phantasy Quartet - Tippett Quartet / Lynn Arnold
[SACD Hybrid Stereo & Multi-Channel]
The April release is headed by Vaughan Williams’s rousing music for the film “49th Parallel.” This is the first time that the complete score has been made available, thanks to conductor Martin Yates’s performing edition, transcribed from the original manuscripts.
That mainstay of English light music, Albert Ketèlbey, is featured with various suites and individual pieces, most of them in their first digital recordings.
Finally, the Tippett Quartet and pianist Lynn Arnold give typically immaculate performances of Elgar’s String Quartet and Piano Quintet, and Albert Sammons’s Phantasy Quartet in its world premiere recording.
