Great pick, Essankay. One of my favorite CTI albums (along with George Benson's Beyond the Blue Horizon).

Francis Chagrin (1905-1972) was a British composer, best known for his many film scores of the 1940s to the early 1960s, one of the many "conservative" post-WWII composers in England who suffered under le terreur of Sir William Glock, the Robespierre of BBC Radio 3, who only supported atonal, "relevant" music. This new NAXOS album is a major release, offering two powerful, very dramatic symphonies. Put simply, if you enjoy Malcolm Arnold's grimmer works and much of William Alwyn's music, then you'll enjoy Chagrin, too. The symphonies are particularly impressive in their slow movements. Fine performances, expert conducting by Martyn Brabbins. A major find!

Thanks, Josh. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not familiar with that Benson album, though. But after listening to clips it sounds like a must-have.

Nothing this very moment, but ready to play once I'm on my commute home.

In looking back over my Erik Satie Appreciation thread, I'd like to thank one of this thread's classical aficionados, JohnnyG, for his contributions and suggestions in that topic.

As for the rest of you classical people: where the hell were YOU?!? wink

A belated thanks for your kind words, Jim!


And if you happen to like Domenico Scarlatti, this 3CD box set playing right now chez JohnnyG is a must:


Scarlatti: 50 Sonatas for harpsichord
Pierre Hantaï

Interesting that you should post this set, JohnnyG, as I've been contemplating acquiring some Scarlatti on harpsichord and Hantai is high on my list. I've just about decided to get the Hantai and this one by Scott Ross with Sonatas 1-30:



The 34-disc complete sonatas is more than I can absorb!

Well, Mr. Phelps, speaking for myself all I can say that by the time I came across your Satie thread the best recommendations had already been made and I had nothing to add!

Britten - Sinfonia da Reqiuem Op20 - lacrymosa. This part has one of my favourite starts and endings to a piece of classical music. I live it.

I'm afraid I can't get no Satie-sfaction.

That's the way to go, Essankay! Hantaï's and Ross's were the only two sets I felt I really needed as far as harpsichord is concerned. (And alongside my four discs of piano renditions by Pletnev, Horowitz and Sudbin, I now have more Scarlatti than I ever wanted!)

Not bad, actually. I had some concerns before I listened, but there are some decent tunes. Doing well on Broadway too.
