Indeed the composer originally described the work as a symphonic poem though he later changed his mind and settled on Piano Concerto No 1 when he revised the work in 1923\\u2014the version recorded here. (Incidentally, we have it on good Welsh authority that 'Nudd' is pronounced 'Neeth').\\r\u003cbr\u003eThough Haydn Wood later made his name writing shorter pieces of light music his early concerto is in full blown romantic style complete with first movement cadenza and 'big tune' grand finale. Its emotional heart, though, is in the simple but moving slow movement. This is the work's first recording and it appears not to have been played since 1951.\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Maestoso Allegro - Open the gates of mirrored horn!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Animato - Ye guards of my hold whom wanderers fear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: a tempo - Harness a steed from the gnomes dark fields\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: a tempo - Vapour of night be thou my shield\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Swift through the dell where the young bats wake\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: a tempo - The armies of the night are abroad\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Tempo primo - Here lies the field that was laid to our hand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Deep in the mould lies the golden helmed all\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Movement: Piu mosso al fine - No spectre of them will answer my call\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Movement: Poco adagio con sentimento - Faint as the faith of our people long dying\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Movement: Tempo poco Allegretto Poco Scherzando - Clotted of shadows he comes to my hest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Movement: Tempo 1 - Daughter of Lear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Movement: O God of our torment lean down and decide that we shall never meet again\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Allegro, molto fuoco - Blade that meets blade with never a sound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Face me afresh though the night hour fails\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Tempo poco Larghetto - Back to your grave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Tempo primo - Break back from the battle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Away from this land, Fairy folk all\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Poco lento - Flit ye away while the shadows mate Branch and blest earth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: L'istesso tempo (Doppio) 0 For scorn follows fast on the Fairy King's fate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Cadenza\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Movement: Grandioso - brillante - She was the most splendid maiden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaestoso e moderato - Tranquillo - Cadenza - Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante - Allegretto Tranquillo - Andante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinale: Vivace\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55144817721729,"sku":"767117","price":19.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/613tzIG48FL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767761772","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/767117","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
