Arnold Bax - Sym No 4 - V Handley, BBC Philc (2003) [Philidor; FLAC]

A latterday Romantic, Arnold Bax lost ground in the 1950s, as the British critical establishment sought to promote more recent musical trends to gain ground abroad. Bax's rhapsodic genius and brilliant sense of orchestration eventually won him new audiences in the 1980s and 1990s. Vernon Handley joked about his Fourth Symphony in an interview, stating they all can't be great works, but then continues by noting that the Fourth is the one unabashedly optimistic symphony in the lot, and well worth hearing.
