Music reviews of Tavener: To a Child Dancing in the Wind & Birtwistle: Entr'Actes and Sappho FragmentsMusic Review: HAD I THE HEAVENS Rating: 5 Stars
First thing I noticed about this CD is the sleeve.Its totally different to the U.K. one,which actually shows a painting of a child "dancing in the wind". It was essential I owned this CD because of its uncanny Virginia Astley connections. Its not that she takes part in it it goes much deeper than that. John Tavener is an English composer who first came to fame with the LP "The Whale" issued on the Beatles' Apple label in the 70s and it was followed by a 2nd called "Celtic Requiem". Apparantly Tavener was a friend of Ringo Starr,and from such auspicious beginnings he went on to become a leading composer in the New Classical. His music was also quite difficult. Today theres a couple of biographies and regular releases of new works. In 1996 Virginia Astley made an album called "Had I the Heavens"and the title song was her setting of the same Yeats poem which is displayed on this work. On another song she actually wrote and sang the words "I danced in the wind". As her No'I fan I am an Astley completist and especially look for other settings of "He who Hath the Cloths of Heaven". So far I have the original John McCormack one,and versions by Nervous,Leslie Garrett,Felicity Lott and Peter Warlock.The one by Leslie Garrett is the most recent setting and uses music composed by Karl Jenkins of Adiemus fame. This particular one by Tavener is the artistes rarest album,having been out of print for a number of years and the only time I saw one was in a store in London which specialises in deleted classical CDs and vinyl.
