The Australian composer, conductor and teacher Alfred Hill studied in Leipzig in the late 1880s, continuing, as a composer, the traditions in which he had been trained, writing music that suggests the work of a latter-day Australian Dvořák. His early musical employment was in New Zealand; he moved back to Australia in 1897, involving himself in opera and operetta, and teaching at the New South Wales State Conservatory until a dispute led to his resignation in 1934.
"Fine recording...Performances seem fluent and persuasive. Good notes. In sum, a disc of pleasant, atmospheric music that goes down smoothly and easily." Fanfare
"Hill's inspiration tends to an amiable, innocuous tunefulness... The performances are eminently respectable and the sound decent.." Gramophone
Note: cover slick has some very slight wear
