 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"Of all German’s orchestral works, the Second Symphony is the one which shows how much more there was to his output than his reputation would suggest. It is a work of tremendous assurance, inventively scored and blessed with a wealth of fresh, bright thematic material. . . . [T]he lyrical slow movement is a piece of overwhelming charm, while the two outer movements contain moments of striking Elgarian boldness. . . . Much the same charm, freshness and assurance also distinguishes the “Valse gracieuse” from the Symphonic Suite in D minor. As for the Welsh Rhapsody, . . . it contains just the same endearing inventive qualities. However, the principal attraction of this disc remains the symphony, which should at all events be heard. It stands firmly in the front rank of British symphonic achievements." -- Andrew Lamb
