A Holstian discovery
Nov. 10th, 2009 09:57 pmDespite not operating at full capacity, I've somehow managed to find the time to pick up a rather nice set of Bach transcriptions from Slatkin and the BBC Phil. All the pieces are good, but the standout for me has to be Holst's arrangement of the Gigue Fugue, which is, by turns, delicately and dramatic — a real discovery.
