Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Arnold Bax with this captivating album, released on January 2, 1998, by Naxos. This chamber music collection offers a unique blend of orchestral and instrumental pieces that showcase Bax's distinctive compositional style, blending romanticism with a touch of Celtic mysticism.
The album opens with "In the Faery Hills," a piece that transports you to a whimsical, otherworldly landscape, followed by "The Garden of Fand," inspired by Irish mythology and evoking a sense of tranquility and beauty. The centerpiece of the album is Bax's Symphony No. 1 in E-Flat Major, a magnificent work that unfolds in three movements. The first movement, "Allegro moderato e feroce," is a powerful and dramatic opening, while the second, "Lento solenne," offers a moment of solemn reflection. The third movement, "Allegro maestoso - Allegro vivace ma non troppo presto - Tempo di marcia trionfale," concludes the symphony with a triumphant and exhilarating finale.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 4 minutes, this album is a testament to Bax's ability to create rich, evocative soundscapes that captivate and inspire. Whether you're a longtime fan of chamber music or a newcomer to the genre, this collection is sure to leave a lasting impression.
