Tremendous string music that could almost be the natural companion to Holst's "Brook Green Suite". Transcendent stuff!! Excellent disc from Naxos in a series of familiar and rare works....
Max Merry yes he did and vw was a lot older than M Ravel wasn't he?.. I had a 45rpm lp that featured the above in its original piano form including real esoteric vw like the lake in the mountains. And now I shall lose all my credibility when I say that for the first year or so I never noticed that it was 45rpm and played it at 33rpm and do you know I still prefer the 6 piano pieces played at this slower rate. Please don't tell anyone else .. I wonder if anyone else was as thick. Ha ha.😁
@@jamessmethurst3537 , Your secret's safe with me! You're right about RVW's being older than his "tutor". I think it would have only been a matter of time before RVW got there himself but Ravel certainly got him "kick-started".....
Max Merry ravel the consumate orchestrator - but one of my favourite pieces is le tombeau de couperin in the piano version. Especially when played by vlado perlemuter . The best interpreter of Ravel's piano works? I think so. And my favourite vw? Flos campi.
Been listening to the string version of Charterhouse Suite for ages. The English Northern Philharmonia version is exquisite. God bless David Greed.
Love RVWs stuff. He was a true genius.
The very essence of England.

Max Merry it could well be a companion piece with Brook green. Also notice the hints of ravel in there somewhere.
@@jamessmethurst3537, Not surprising given Ravel's tuition of RVW....
