Description:

A Wedding Bouquet/March/Luna Park is an album by L. Berners, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD. Lord Bernersâ?? compositions, often satirical in intention, include ballets for Diaghilev and for Sadlerâ??s Wells. While his first ballet, The Triumph of Neptune, is an ambitious and inventive example of his art (Naxos 8.555222), the choral ballet A Wedding Bouquet is Bernersâ?? most original and successful work, if somewhat influenced by Stravinskyâ??s Les Noces. Written to a text by Gertrude Stein and choreographed by Frederick Ashton, this is music full of vivacity, festive brilliance and pathos. Set in a freak show pavilion, Luna Park is a â??fantastic ballet in one actâ??, succinctly scored and wittily characterised. - RTE CHAMBER CHOIR/RTE SINFONIETTA/KENNETH ALWYN

Lord Berners' compositions, often satirical in intention, include ballets for Diaghilev and for Sadler's Wells.

Written to a text by Gertrude Stein and choreographed by Frederick Ashton, this is music full of vivacity, festive brilliance and pathos. Set in a freak show pavilion, Luna Park is a 'fantastic ballet in one act', succinctly scored and wittily characterized.
