Bbc Now/gamba - Overtures From The British Isles Vol. 2 [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Rumon Gamba and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales present the second volume in their exploration of rarely heard overtures from the British Isles. Introducing these neglected works, the conductor explains: 'All the overtures on this disc belong to the period between 1890 and 1945. In this present selection, however, we see perhaps even more clearly the evolution of musical style, and in particular the use of harmony, in the armoury of the British composer.' He adds: 'Rather by accident it seems that we have a nautical theme running through the disc ('Rule, Britannia!' makes an appearance in two of the overtures!), perhaps the most familiar work being Walton's Portsmouth Point. I was surprised to find out that there are relatively few recordings of this little masterpiece. Likewise I was amazed to learn that the BBC National Orchestra of Wales had not played the piece for many years. So it made a perfect maritime choice alongside Britannia, The Boatswain's Mate, Plymouth Hoe, and Tom Bowlin.'
