Blowing the dust off excellence
If you're even a casual RVW fan, this disc is a must-buy. This recording proves RVW's original version is brilliant and he should have left well enough alone. (Especially in regards to the final movement). This disc represents the perfection of modern recording and ...

Chandos, 1992

Sensitive, understated beauty

All the BUTTERWORTH that's fit to print...
In fact, this is all the Butterworth that's left to us in the world--period: these few art songs, and a couple 'o three orchestral pieces. He had just begun to compose thoroughly when he went off to Flanders and was slain on the battlefield in 1916. Prior to his ...
