Flury / Bbc Symphony Orchestra- Orchestral Music Vol. 3
The First and Fourth Symphonies of the Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896-1967) both have a strong sense of place. They retain a hint of Bruckner but are fluid rather than monumental. The First is lyrical and grandiose in equal measure, reflecting the grandeurs of the Swiss landscape. The Fourth was inspired by memories of childhood visits to Liechtenstein and spins out tunes and atmosphere with the profligacy of a Hollywood film score.
