Alwyn: Violin Concerto, Miss Julie Suite, Fanfare for a Joyful OccasionOpis:Product description Concerto pour violon - Miss Julie Suite (arr. Philip Lane) - Fanfare for a Joyful Occasion / Lorraine McAslan, violon - Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - David Lloyd-Jones, direction Review Alwyn may well be the most underrated English composer of the past century.
The Violin Concerto still awaits a professional public performance,so this recording-the latest in Naxos's Alwyn series-is welcome.
McAslan makes an eloquent case for its romantic spirit and rhapsodic melodies.
The Royal Liverpool under David Lloyd-Jones fill out the disc with a wickedly atmospheric suite from Alwyn's opera Miss Julie. *** --Financial Times, 12/03/11Naxos continues to do 20th-century British music proud with the latest addition to its series devoted to the music of William Alwyn. David Lloyd-Jones and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic's discs have already included the five symphonies and the first of the concerti grossi, and the major work here is the most substantial of Alwyn's six solo concertos, paired with a suite (not Alwyn's own work) from his Strindberg opera of the 1970s. The Violin Concerto was completed just before the second world war, but Alwyn never heard it played with an orchestra, and it has still never been given a professional public performance. It's couched in an unashamedly late-Romantic idiom, and if it has a model at all, it is Elgar's violin concerto, with which it shares a mood of autumnal wistfulness in its long opening movement. The melodic invention isn't always totally compelling, though Lloyd-Jones shapes it with great affection and the soloist Lorraine McAslan seems utterly authoritative; their performance suggests the concerto does deserve to be heard in a concert hall soon. *** --Guardian,21/04/11Naxos continues to do 20th-century British music proud with the latest addition to its series devoted to the music of William Alwyn.
