Shadows Of War

BBC music magazine cover disc for a WW1 themed edition. Ivor Gurney : A Gloucestershire Rhapsody, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Parry and War Elegy, BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Lloyd-Jones. Frank Bridge : Oration ( Concerto Elegiaco for cello and orchestra ), BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Richard Hickox. Stephen Isserlis cello. The Gurney works, the Rhapsody is a recorded premiere, are noticeably works in progress never fully realised because of circumstances. But worth hearing. Whereas Oration is one of Bridge's major works and a class above really.
