David Lloyd-JonesAbout
Central to Stanford’s achievement are the seven symphonies covering the greater part of his career. Although they remain well within the stylistic orbit of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms, these accomplished works are marked by resourceful and often subtle orchestration.
Symphony No. 2, ‘Elegiac’, completed in 1880, seems to have no overt elegiac intent, although it is prefaced by a quotation from Tennyson’s In Memoriam. Symphony No. 5 was inspired by Milton’s poems L’Allegro and Il Penseroso, lines from which are included in the score, and reprinted in the booklet accompanying this recording.
“Following on from its illuminating Bax series, Naxos here launches a cycle of Stanford's even symphonies, with high-quality playing and a conductor in David Lloyd-Jones who characterises the music perceptively.” The Daily Telegraph on Naxos 8.570285.
