Description
To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the composer Rutland Boughton (1878-1960), the RSNO and Martin Yates have recorded three of his romantic Edwardian tone poems. Love and Spring, Op.23, Troilus & Cressida (Thou & I), Op.17 and A Summer Night, Op.5 - these are completely forgotten repertoire, but even after the first play-through all involved were puzzled as to why such entrancing music should have gone unplayed for a century. The programme is made even more attractive by being coupled with three similar Edwardian-era tone poems - Paracelsus, Op.8, Pompilia, Op.11 and Prometheus, Op.19 - by Boughton's friend Edgar Bainton. If you like gorgeously scored, tuneful music, these are for you.
