Badings / Bochumer Symphoniker / Porcelijn- Henk Badings: Symphonies 4 & 5
Our new Henk Badings recording further confirms his rank as a great twentieth-century Dutch composer with an important and independent individual voice in European music. Although he composed his fourth symphony during the war years, absolutely nothing related to World War II or it's atmosphere is to be found in it. It is instead a work adhering to the classical structure and displaying unaffected naturalness and quick musical wit especially in it's fast movements. In 1949 Badings composed his fifth symphony as a commissioned work for the sixtieth anniversary of the Concertgebouw Orchestra. In 1955 a reviewer for the daily de Tijd wrote that this symphony resembled film music inasmuch as it clearly dealt with illustrative elements. This was not intended as a negative judgment but instead was born of admiration for the composer's suggestive style. In any case, today this music impresses the listener with it's surprising freshness and vitality.
Tracklist:
- Symphony No. 4: I. Lento - Allegro
- Symphony No. 4: II. Scherzo: Presto
- Symphony No. 4: III. Largo E Mesto
- Symphony No. 4: IV. Allegro
- Symphony No. 5: I. Lento - Allegro
