To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Sir Arnold Bax, Chandos has commissioned a new set of his symphonies, conducted by Vernon Handley. The project is one which has been eagerly anticipated by collectors for many years.This special edition box set includes the premiere recording of Rogue’s Comedy Overture, and a bonus CD containing a recorded conversation between the conductor and BBC Radio 3’s Andrew McGregor about Bax’s symphonies.Vernon Handley is universally acknowledged as the leading interpreter of the works of Arnold Bax, consequently making this an unusually important release.This special edition box set is available at a special price. As an added bonus, anyone purchasing the disc will be eligible to enter a competition to win a weekend for two at the Station Hotel, Morar, Scotland (flights from London only), where Bax spent a month or two every winter, setting out in full score works he had sketched in London the previous summer."Sir Arnold Bax wrote his cycle of seven symphonies between 1921 and 1939. In his younger days he had not set out to be a symphonist, and if anyone had then predicted his future career, Bax would doubtless have been scornful of the notion that he could turn to such an old-fashioned genre in the bright new artistic world immediately following the end of World War I. Yet in 1921, when he wrote what he headed ‘Third Piano Sonata’, he quickly realised that he had composed a symphony. He orchestrated it, writing a new slow movement conceived in symphonic terms, and made a big splash with it in December 1922. For the rest of the 1920s audiences thought of it as the Bax symphony, but he was soon working on a second, quickly followed by a third during the winter of 1928–29. The remaining four symphonies followed during the 1930s.Vernon Handley was conducting the works of Sir Arnold Bax during the 1960s when the composer’s work was very much out of favour with the musical establishment. Over the years a Bax symphony conducted by Handley became something special, but apart from an isolated recording of the Fourth with the Guildford Philharmonic, he never recorded any of them. Yet one of Handley’s lifetime ambitions has been to record his view of what he came to regard as a cornerstone of British music in the twentieth century, an ambition achieved with this set.Reviews'It is a tremendous achievement, the crowning glory of Vernon Handleys dedication to British music in general and to this composer in particular.'Sir Arnold Bax Gramophone 'Take Five''Truth to tell, Im still reeling from the impact of this magnificent set; its insights are copious, Chandos layout is ideal (with none of the symphonies split between discs) and the price is tempting too.'Gramophone (Critic's Choice)'Handley, the BBC Philharmonic, executive producer Brian Pidgeon and the Chandos engineers give us sonic glories in spades. These discs transport us to windswept coastlines, the ocean floor, pagan dances and the nobility of love, defeat, death and triumph… This is a wonderful set of compelling haunting music; it deserves to spread joy not just over Christmas but for life.'The Times'The BBC Philharmonics playing is magnificent throughout, while Handley never loses his grip on the musics forceful logic. Works that in some hands, and to some ears, can seem rhapsodic, he reveals as integrally symphonic, for all their big-boned Romantic gestures.'The Telegraph'Every now and then, a series of recordings appears that changes the music world just a little, prompts a re-evaluation, draws us towards repertory we might otherwise have ignored… These probing interpretations venture beyond the surfaces to the musics inner workings. Handley is the ideal guide, the BBC Philharmonic the ideal instrument for the job and you also get Tintagel, a premiere recording of Rogues Comedy Overture and a revealing recorded interview with Andrew McGregor. Superb sound, too.'The Independent'Handleys readings are generally volatile and urgent, and he brings out some of the musics violence and incipient touches of modernism better that his rivals.'BBC Music Magazine (Performance: maximum rating 5*)'Handley and the BBC Philharmonic strain all their musical sinews to bring out every detail of these highly wrought and texturally complex works, and Handleys command of structure and pacing is majestic.'The Guardian'The set has been a labour of love for Vernon Handley - one of the high points of his career. Im hoping that this set, which is the product of 50 years study, will invite people to listen that little bit more often to these wonderful immense works.'Classic FM Magazine 'Disc of the Month''In every way Handley has now produced the definitive Bax series - surely beyond criticism.'Gramophone 'Take Five''The BBC Philharmonic under Vernon Handley recently performed Baxs Symphonies Nos 6 and 8 in Manchester, to great critical acclaim:…a rare occasion of exploration and discovery. Perhaps this anniversary will allow Baxs music to emerge from the shadow of Vaughan Williams. On this evidence, Handley and BBCPO are incomparably equipped to make that happen.'The Guardian'Vernon Handley is the ideal conductor for Bax: he understands the music like no other, and it breathes perfectly in his hands.'Fanfare on CHAN 9715 (Bax)'…this splended Fingerhut and Handley performance brings a reassessment and the works strengths, particularly its appealing slow movement, are revealed.'BBC Music Magazine on CHAN 9715 (Bax)''These are interpretations by a conductor who has lived with this music and who is fully at home in the composer's musical world. Beautifully played and recorded, this is the sort of thing that Chandos does incomparably.' 'Truth to tell, I'm still reeling from the impact of this magnificent set; its insights are copious, Chandos' layout is ideal (with none of the symphonies split between discs) and the price is tempting too.''Gramophone Critic's Choice''The BBC Philharmonic's playing is magnificent throughout, while Handley never loses his grip on the music's forceful logic. Works that in some hands, and to some ears, can seem rhapsodic, he reveals as integrally symphonic, for all their big-boned Romantic gestures.''The Telegraph'The set has been a labour of love for Vernon Handley - one of the high points of his career. 'I'm hoping that this set, which is the product of 50 years' study, will invite people to listen that little bit more often to these wonderful immense works'.''Classic FM Magazine 'Disc of the Month'
The life and music of Villa-Lobos is intimately linked with the emergence of Brazil as a nation and cultural force during the first half of the 20th century. This applies especially to the two great cycles that he composed between 1920 and 1945: the 12 Choros and the 9 Bachianas Brasileiras. In the Choros the composer’s stated aim was to achieve a synthesis of the various musical influences of Brazil: the popular urban music (such as the dances of European origin performed by chorões or street musicians), the music brought from Africa by slaves, and the chants and rhythms of the native Indian tribes. The Choros range from solo pieces with durations of a couple of minutes to large-scale scores for expanded symphony orchestra, sometimes comprising choir or solo instruments. The cycle also includes an Introduction, as well as a brief ‘after-thought’: the Two Choros (bis). After the completion of the Choros, Villa-Lobos in 1930 began his next great project, the Bachianas Brasileiras. Admiring its ability to communicate across all boundaries in time or place, Villa-Lobos once described the music of Bach as ‘universal folk music’ and here attempted a fusion between Bach and Brazilian music. This cycle also consists of various scorings: from solo instrument to choir a cappella and symphony orchestra, with Villa-Lobos providing parallel versions of two of them (Nos 4 and 9). All of these are included in this collection, which comprises recordings made between 2002 and 2006, and released as separate discs to universal acclaim: ‘The complete set of Villa-Lobos's exotic and brilliant Bachianas Brasileiras surpasses, for me, all previous recordings in terms of execution, spirit and recorded sound’ wrote the reviewer in Fanfare, including the discs on his 2008 ‘Want-List’. Equally well-received, the cycle of Choros was already before its completion described as ‘a publishing feat’ on the website Klassik.com. The performances of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra were naturally in focus: ‘The Brazilian players sound as if the music is in their blood … and their ensemble is in no way inferior to that of any of their rivals’ (Gramophone) and ‘a world-class ensemble providing an assured blend of lush colours, pulsating rhythms and supple phrasing’ (International Record Review) are only a couple of examples. The many solo performances appearing throughout the collection received similar praise, as witness the following examples: ‘No. 5 with Donna Brown has to be the quintessential performance of this most famous of Bachianas’ (American Record Guide), ‘Jean Louis Steuerman plays with great finesse and understanding’ (Gramophone), ‘Cristina Ortiz proves a peerless pianist in this unique piece [Choros No. 11] ’ (classiqueinfo-disque.com). This collection also includes a performance by the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet of Quinteto em forma de choros (a work often mentioned in connection with the Choros even if it does not form part of the cycle) as well as a separate disc containing Anders Miolin’s recording of the complete music for solo guitar, much of which Villa-Lobos composed for the legendary Andres Segovia.
