John Foulds: Three Mantras (2004) more music like this

performed by Daniel Hope (violin), Susan Bickley (mezzo-soprano), City of Birmingham Symphony Youth Chorus (choir, chorus), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo (conductor)
composed by John Foulds

Known for his popular salon pieces, John Foulds was much less recognized for his large orchestral works, and few of these were played or published when he was alive. His lush and mystically charged works spring from the influence of the late Romantics, such as Strauss and Elgar, yet they also have a strong Impressionistic quality, which puts ...

performed by Elizabeth Connell (soprano), Julian Lloyd Webber (cello), Kim Begley (tenor), Roy Jowitt (clarinet), Susan Bickley (mezzo-soprano), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Vernon Handley (conductor)
composed by Granville Bantock

If one imagined a more sensuous Elgar, a more vigorous Delius, a less rigorous Wagner, or a less morbid Mahler, one would have imagined the music of Granville Bantock, the fin de siècle English composer who contrived to continue composing late Romantic music straight through to his death in 1946. But if these admittedly invidious comparisons don ...

Bantock: Sappho; Sapphic Poem (1997) more music like this

performed by Julian Lloyd Webber (cello), Susan Bickley (mezzo-soprano), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Vernon Handley (conductor)
composed by Granville Bantock

One generation's pornography is another generation's curiosity. Grenville Bantock's setting of his wife's dilations on Sappho entitled Sappho from 1906 was supremely seductive to the Edwardian England of its day, a seductiveness spiced by the apparent uncertain nature of the sexual inclinations of Bantock's wife. But whether it is Sappho and her ...

performed by Ailish Tynan (soprano), Andrew Kennedy (tenor), Ian Burnside (piano), Susan Bickley (mezzo-soprano)
composed by Judith Weir

The title of this collection of vocal music by Scottish composer Judith Weir refers only to the opening track, a song setting a non-animal-rights-friendly folk text about how to judge a horse for purchase ("four white feet and a white nose/take off his hide and feed him to the crows"). Yet the song gives a good introduction to the artistry shown ...

composed by Louis Andriessen

One of the last operas produced in the twentieth century was Louis Andriessen's Writing to Vermeer, premiered at the Netherlands Opera on December 1, 1999. It is a handsome production indeed, with libretto and gigantic film projection components by Peter Greenaway and bursts of electronic music contributed by Michel van der Aa. However, all things ...

composed by Igor Stravinsky

This Naxos disc is a coupling of two recordings originally issued by Koch. Both the recordings were part of Robert Craft's continuation of the complete Stravinsky edition he had begun on MusicMasters. Craft's second Oedipus Rex is less than entirely compelling. Martyn Hill is a virile Oedipus and Jennifer Lane is a noble Jocasta, but Craft is a ...
