Nice one Jerry! Thomson's Bax built nicely on the earlier Lyrita issues. Bax has a sound that was unfashionable when it was new, even, and like a lot of 20th Century music was eclipsed by the modernists. It's definitely overdue a renaissance . . .Originally Posted by jandl100
Yesterday -- Back to Bax again.
Inspired by Bob's enthusiasm for the composer I invested in this -->
The 5th with Bryden Thompson.
As good as the sq in the Naxos series is (and it is good) this is superb. Must be one of the best sounding orchestral recordings I have heard. Just so natural!
I think I like the performance, too -- but I'm still finding my way with Bax.
No, it's not from the Chuck Handley series on Chandos that Bob was extolling, I might investigate some of that next!
