I adore that Dutton disc of his violin sonatas, music of real stature.<br /><br />It's unfortunate that fans of these lesser-known composers orchestral works tend to doubt their abilities in other mediums. Whil this holds true for some, Bantock's violin sonatas are quite something - they really hold strong despite an often lengthy duration, which can only be a good sign!Kekenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-169810014588339312009-10-08T21:37:20.692-05:002009-10-08T21:37:20.692-05:00I'm so happy to have introduced you to Bantock...I'm so happy to have introduced you to Bantock, and know that your Bantock phase will be a mountain of pleasure!

I did not know of him but having listened to a few short clips on iTunes, I can already tell he's totally "my type!" I think another British composer I enjoy, Sir Edward German, was from the same time era. I have a feeling I'll be on going through a Bantock phase shortly... :)T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-19818788154049178862009-10-02T12:51:50.442-05:002009-10-02T12:51:50.442-05:00But where's the photo of Wagner? :)But where's the photo of Wagner? :)Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-28592211336363935632009-10-02T11:38:54.289-05:002009-10-02T11:38:54.289-05:00Something suggests that those little slots for pap...Something suggests that those little slots for papers and great Buddha statues have their cousins in Elaine Fine's virtual compositional "study..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-62099686233171821272009-10-01T21:35:23.932-05:002009-10-01T21:35:23.932-05:00Perhaps a picture will show up eventually.
