Description: | John Knowles Paine was one of the 'Boston Six', a group of important American composers active in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. His German training equipped him with considerable formal skill and he soon rose to become a pioneer of the symphonic tradition in America. Paine's Symphony No. 1 received a tremendous reception at it's premiere on account of it's attractive themes, skilful orchestration and accomplished design. The Overture As You Like It is notable for it's graceful and tuneful themes, whereas Shakespeare's Tempest is a more adventurous and powerful Lisztian tone poem.Recorded at Ulster hall, Belfast, UK, 15-16 October 2012.
Cover: "Miranda" by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), (Collection Nicky and Roma Ryan, Courtesy of The Maas Gallery / akg-images). |
