The Lark Ascending
The Lark Ascending (ABC Classics 472 984-2)
SKU: 02330
Price:
AU $18.13


  
Label: ABC Classics Cat. No.: 472 984-2 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

The Lark Ascending surprised the music community by coming in at No. 2 in The Classic 100 poll done by the ABC in 2001.

Everyone knew this evergreen and popular work, but few realised that the Australian music lover loved it more than so many other popular pieces by Bach, Beethoven and Handel.

This special work is like no other in the history of music. On a warm and hazy orchestral bed, a solo violin flutters rhapsodically and soars into the open skies. Based on the exquisite George Meredith poem, it matches perfectly Meredith's "silver chain of sound" and "love of earth".

Now ABC Classics is proud to release a brand new recording of The Lark Ascending. The ethereally beautiful violin soloist is Dimity Hall, a member of the Goldner Quartet and Australia Ensemble, and an adored soloist on the Australian concert stage. She has performed The Lark Ascending throughout her career and was the perfect soloist to make this gorgeous, languid recording.

The other works on the CD are other lush and beautiful pieces of Vaughan Williams, including the celebrated Lento from his Fifth Symphony.

Composers: Vaughan Williams.
Conductors: Myer Fredman, Carl Pini, David Stanhope, Patrick Thomas, Antony Walker.
Orchestras: Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia Australis, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Tracks: RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (1872-1958)
