GRAMOPHONE RECOMMENDS 'D'Indy handles his outsize forces with conspicuous skill (there's some terrific horn writing throughout, and the work's A flat major apotheosis is haunting indeed. Both the Op 19 Lied and Choral varié prove very fetching discoveries, especially when Lawrence Power plays with the selfless dedication, sense of poetry and lustrous tone that made his world premiere recording of York Bowen's viola concerto so special … A toothsome and notably enterprising collection, this, with splendidly ample and atmospheric sound to match.
