"Vernon Handley’s Bax symphony cycle represents a landmark achievement.
Enthusiasts have long clamoured for a Bax symphony cycle under the baton of the composer’s doughtiest champion, but even they could hardly have imagined that it would appear in one fell swoop... All involved deserve our heartiest gratitude, and I can guarantee that Handley’s Bax will continue to reward, excite and stimulate for many years to come." - GRAMOPHONE
This special edition box set received the 2004 Gramophone magazine award, for "Best of Category (Orchestral)" and includes the premiere recording of the Rogues Overture, and a bonus CD comprising interviews between the conductor and BBC Radio 3’s Andrew McGregor about Bax’s symphonies.
‘Vernon Handley is the ideal conductor for Bax: He understands the music like no other, and it breathes perfectly in his hands.’ - Fanfare ‘I cannot imagine better performances.’ - American Record Guide |
