Product details
G.W.L. Marshall-Hall (1862-1915) was one of Australia's first
composers of significance and was described as a "picturesque and
powerful influential personality in Australian intellectual
life". He dedicated the 'Symphony in Eb' to his "friends and
comrades under the Southern Cross", Streeton and Roberts, whom he
often associated with at Heidelberg.
Exuberant and rich in orchestral colour with strong thematic
ideas, this lively and passionate music breathes the spirit of
romanticism, with its Brahmsian instrumental voicing and
Wagnerian wind instrumentation. In this historical, first-ever
recording of Marshall-Hall symphonies, Melbourne University
Professor of Music Warren Bebbington conducts the Queensland
Theatre Orchestra. CD notes include an historical essay about
Marshall-Hall by Suzanne Robinson.
Duration: 35 min.
Booklet includes historical essay on composer.
