British Tone Poems, Vol. 1 [Chandos 2017][FLAC]

With this album, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Rumon Gamba launch a series intended to bring often neglected symphonic poems by British composers to wider attention and fame. The first volume presents some of the most individual, yet rarely heard, British tone poems of the early 20th century by composers ranging from Ralph Vaughan Williams and William Alwyn to Balfour Gardiner and Granville Bantock, all giants in their time. Works include Bantock�s atmospheric The Witch of Atlas, based on a poem by Shelley, Frederic Austin�s symphonic rhapsody Spring and Gardiner�s evocation of summer A Berkshire Idyll, recorded here for the first time.
