MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Grainer: Orchestra Works (Incls 'Shepherd's Hey' & 'In a Nutshell' Suite)')
BBC Philharmonic. Richard Hickox

[ Chandos Grainger Edition, Vol.1 / CD ]

Release Date: Wednesday 10 July 1996

"Nothing here sounds, tired, routine or gap-filling dull. And certainly Grainger emerges as far more than pretty, cosy or genteel; more a case of romantic, folksy, dangerous, exultant, tumultuous and, yes, sentimental." MusicWeb

"For The Warriors, Hickox uses a new critical edition prepared by the Australian Grainger authority, Alessandro Servadei. Grainger's orchestral palette has never sounded more gloriously extravagant. Then again, this impression is just as much a tribute to Hickox's performance, which is breathtaking in its virtuosic brilliance and stunning co-ordination." Gramophone
