The First and Fourth Symphonies of the Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896-1967) both have a strong sense of place. They retain a hint of Bruckner but are fluid rather than monumental. The First is lyrical and grandiose in equal measure, perhaps reflecting the grandeurs of the Swiss landscape. The Fourth was inspired by memories of childhood visits to Liechtenstein and spins out tunes and atmosphere with the profligacy of a Hollywood film score. The existing material for both works was full of errors; this recording is the first to return to Flury's manuscripts and expunge the wrong notes.
"Paul Mann approaches these scores from a place of scholarship and affection. The booklet contains a five-page essay by Mann in which he walks us through the music step by step, and this facilitated my enjoyment and appreciation. The BBC Symphony Orchestra plays the music with the expected professionalism, and the engineering is just fine." Fanfare
