Music reviews of Percy Grainger Edition, Vol. 1: Orchestral Works

Music Review: Not top-drawer Grainger, but an attractive, superbly played programme
Rating: 4 Stars

A delightful program to open this very interesting series, this one is. As always Richard Hickox displays an unerring ear for the color and pacing of whatever repertoire he ever got his hand on, and the BBC Philharmonic responds with color and élan - even though a little bit of additional attack would not have gone amiss on certain occasions. The programme is well-planned and varied enough, although much of it is less-known and somewhat lower than top-drawer Grainger, even though everything of course is very much unmistakably the composer. The opening Duke of Marlborough fanfare is a demonstration vehicle for the rich and magnificent brass players of the BBC Philharmonic, and the disc really goes from one success to another after that performancewise. Notice, for instance, the perky liveliness of Shepherd's Hey and the swaggering charm of Walking Tune - quite simply marvelously done. True, not everything here is, perhaps, equally inspired music-wise (some of the early works are, while charming and attractive, not really very memorable), but the music is for the most part at least delightfully atmospheric and colorful. The best is, perhaps, the last items; the wonderful In a Nutshell suite, and the dynamic, spirited Green Bushes. The sound quality is marvelous, and this disc can be strongly recommended - I admit to not having followed up the Chandos Grainger series, but if everything is as well played as this one, it would surely be a worthwhile endeavor, at least when it gets to the really good works.
