Wonderful music. I particularly like the second set where Riddle brings a sort of honeyed melancholy to the viola's tones in the "Ballad" while bowing frenetically during the "Moto Perpetuo".
I once had this on an LP coupled with a work by Robrrt Starer. The soloist was one Melvin Berger. It's a lovely work. Here the soloist is Frederick Riddle. So this must be a fairly old recording. Delighted to hear it again!
The Prelude is a desert-island piece for me. Soloist is excellent. Orchestra has ensemble problems in a number of places. Why? Bass pizz, clarinet vs viola.
@@RoddersClassical Thank you for replying. I found some works by composers I've known of that I hadn't heard before, so even if they've been in the musical literature and repertoire for quite a while, to me, they're just out, they're the latest thing. Then, there are composers unknown to me that I'm just discovering on your channel, so, even if they've gone out of fashion, they're the height of fashion for me, even Cesar Cui. One critic has called Cesar Cui a washout, but I like his music, if only to spite the critic. And, besides Cui edited and orchestrated Mussorgsky's The Fair at Tsorochinskaya to make the work suitable for performance and available to the public, so he rendered a valuable cultural service to society. Thanks, again, for your channel, Phillip Jones

Such tender music.. Written the same year as Holst's passing. Feels like a tribute in some parts.

Not RVW with which I'm familiar. Thanks for posting.
Gorgeous music as one might expect from RVW

Dates from 1977 according to discogs. Very attractive.
