Conductor:
David Lloyd-Jones

Background: Central to Sir Charles Villiers Stanford's achievements as a compose are the seven symphonies covering the greater part of his career. Although they remain well within the stylistic orbit of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms, these accomplished works are marked by resourceful and often subtle orchestration.

Symphony No.2, 'Elegiac', completed in 1880, seems to have no overt elegiac intent, although it is prefaced by a quotation from Tennyson's In Memoriam. Symphony No.5 was inspired by Milton's poems L'Allegro and Il Penseroso, lines from which are included in the score, and reprinted in the booklet accompanying this recording.
