About

This fifth volume of the orchestral works of the late-Romantic Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896–1967) brings two works deeply bound up with his native Solothurn, in the north-west of the country. His Fastnachts-Sinfonie, or ‘Carnival Symphony’, is an expansive symphonic poem predicated on local legend and folk tradition, embracing both frolic and feeling. The Third Symphony – in which one can hear traces of Bruckner and Richard Strauss – celebrates the rolling hills and endless skies of the Bucheggberg, where he loved to go walking and where, the freewheeling music would suggest, his heart found freedom.

‘Where would we be without companies such as Toccata who are regularly responsible for recording the works of neglected composers? Much poorer is the answer, and this is yet another in their series of CD’s presenting compositions by Richard Flury, who has been largely overlooked outside his native Swiss canton.’ – Jim Westhead, MusicWeb International, on Vol.4 (TOCC0727)
