Holst: Suite De Ballet - A Song of the Night - the Wandering
Another re-release from Hickoxâs classic recordings finds us knee-deep in lesser-known and widely varied works of Gustav Holst. The Suite de Ballet is one of Holstâs lighter orchestral pieces, worked colorfully with a slightly French flair. Song of the Night for solo violin shows the composer in a confident and imaginative Romantic frame of mind. Finally, the comic chamber opera The Wandering Scholar was one of Holstâs latest works, stripped down to only the barest necessities. Hickoxâs lively performance was hailed as inspiring âfull-blooded music-makingâ throughout.
