The 'choreographic poem' The Beltane Fire pits the sternness of the Reformation clergy against the pagan traditions of the Orkney Islands. Concerned with environmental pollution, The Turn of the Tide ultimately reaches 'a triumphant dance of all creation', while the Threnody and Pavan are poignant memorial tributes for significant figures in the composer's life.Our catalogue of works by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has for some time had sufficient critical mass to make each new release an automatic purchase for connoisseurs of the best in contemporary music. This new collection was preceded by our June release of The Lighthouse (8.660354), acclaimed by BBC Music Magazine as a work to 'grip the imagination from start to finish... incisively superb.' This new release is a collection with a great deal of variety, reviving a Collins Classics recording of The Beltane Fire which Gramophone considered 'excellent performances... from the Maxwell Davies\/BBC Philharmonic partnership; the recordings are clean and vivid'. The BBC Music Magazine also admired 'the combined forces of four children's choirs from Manchester [who] acquit themselves magnificently in the final hymn to unsullied nature' in The Turn of the Tide, a work which holds as much resonance today as it did in the 1990s for those concerned about our environment.\u003cp\u003eIn the Barn of the Bu - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude I - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Field - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude II - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kirk - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Field - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beltane Fire - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Creation of Underwater Plants - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Creation of Plants On Land - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Creation of the First Sea Creatures - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Creation of Birds - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMammals, and First People - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Underwater Plants Flourish - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trees Flourish - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Prosperity of Fish - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBird Migration - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstinct and Intellect in Mammals and Mankind - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sea Plants Are Poisoned - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trees Are Suffocated - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fish Are Deformed and Cannot Function - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Birds Fall from the Sky - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHubris Triumphant - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Warning Is Heeded - Nature Reborn - The Decline Is Reversed - Various Performers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSunday Morning - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrenody On a Plainsong for Michael Vyner - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir Charles His Pavan - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55144810971521,"sku":"767591","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51f2iLSuR7L._SL1500.jpg?v=1767761919","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/767591","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
