The June Classical Reviews are now available on Music on the Web (UK)
http://www.musicweb.force9.co.uk/music/classrev/jun99/jun99fnt1.html
Highlights include:
# the first CD release of Haitink conducting Walton's First Symphony - why
have EMI been hiding this performance? It is startlingly different and
neatly complements the highly regarded recording by Previn from 1967
(currently unavailable in the UK)
# Premiere recordings of symphonies by Arthur Butterworth and Ruth Gipps -
candidate for CD of the year
# some rediscovered violin works by Elgar
# a superb collection of English songs from Hyperion
# Dutoit giving us ROSSINI/RESPIGHI La Boutique Fantasque and RESPIGHI
Impressioni Brasiliane
# Rosenkavalier highlights in English from Chandos
