Editorial Reviews

The Lyrita label has an incredible backlist of well-known and not-so- well-known British composers. Foulds, though he lived from 1880 to 1939, essentially belongs, at least temperamentally, with Elgar's generation. His compositions--mostly classical in their structure, Romantic in their delivery-- retain a number of 19th-century mannerisms, although an original voice peeps through now and then. April-England (1932) is a tone poem close to those of Arnold Bax of the same era, but without Bax's sense of menace. Hellas, a Suite of Ancient Greece (1932) is a tone poem with some of Respighi's atmospherics. --Paul Cook

Album Description
"A splendid addition to the catalogue ... Barry Wordsworth and the LPO respond to Fould's music with verve, commitment and enthusiasm, and the recording is of the highest Lyrita standard." -- GRAMOPHONEThe wife of John Foulds was an expert on the music of India, and in 1935 he traveled there to collect folk music and pursue an idea of making a synthesis of the music of East and West.
