Info for Stanford, C.V.: Symphonies, Vol. 4 (No. 1, Clarinet Concerto)
This final volume of the Naxos cycle of the complete Stanford Symphonies features the substantial First Symphony, whose first movement, with its spacious introduction and exposition repeat, is a remarkably broad structure and, at something a little over 18 minutes, must surely be the longest instrumental movement ever written by a British composer until the opening movement of Elgar’s First Symphony some thirty years later. The use of stopped horns is most unusual for a symphony written in the late 1870s. Stanford’s tuneful late romantic Clarinet Concerto has become the most frequently heard and recorded of the composer’s orchestral works.
