這張備受期待的倫敦小交響樂團和指揮約翰.威爾森的專輯收錄了兩件最偉大的英國弦樂團作品: 佛漢.威廉士的(泰利斯主題幻想曲)和艾爾加的(序奏與快板). 艾爾加的創新作品是受新成立的倫敦交響樂團委任並於1905年首演, 其靈感來自於(巴洛克大協奏曲), 特色是一個弦樂四重奏獨奏與完整的交響樂弦樂團形成鮮明的對比. 1938年, 霍威爾斯在他的(給弦樂團的協奏曲)也採用這種管弦樂團的影響力量. 戴流士的(晚燕, Late Swallows)是唯一件不是原本寫給弦樂團的作品, 而是他的記錄員艾瑞克.芬比(Eric Fenby)改編戴流士的弦樂四重奏中的慢板樂章. 這張專輯以環繞音頻與數位化空間音效錄製成Hybrid SACD發行.
This keenly anticipated album from Sinfonia of London and John Wilson features two of the greatest British works for string orchestra: Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, and Sir Edward Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro. Elgar’s ground-breaking work, commissioned for the newly formed London Symphony Orchestra and premiered in 1905, is inspired by the baroque concerto grosso, and features a solo string quartet contrasted with the full symphonic string section. These orchestral forces were also adopted by Herbert Howells in his Concerto for String Orchestra, from 1938. Delius’s Late Swallows is the only piece not originally composed for string orchestra; it was arranged (from the slow movement of Delius’s String Quartet) by his amanuensis, Eric Fenby. Recorded in Surround Sound and available as a Hybrid SACD, and digitally in Spatial Audio.
