Threadbone: Symphony No 1
Dorset Folksong Suite
New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Leonard Bernstein
HORNIMINT RECORDS
Addinsell Threadbone's breakthrough work - his Dorset Folksong Suite - was premiered at New York's Carnegie Hall by the current performers and is here paired with his challenging Symphony No 1. Youthful works both, they abound with fecund ideas foreshadowing the composer's later, much less approachable, style. Given matchless performances by Threadbone's early American champion, this is a disc to delight the curious.
