Title: John Ireland - Orchestral Works from Chandos
Post by: Justin on Thursday 11 August 2022, 03:28
Released back in June: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/9328965--john-ireland-orchestral-works#reviews

Don't think there is anything new here but the sound quality is outstanding.

I concur - it is a welcome release and the playing is excellent, A Downland Suite in particular. For fans of Epic March, the earlier recordings from Richard Hickox on Chandos (here (https://www.chandos.net/products/catalogue/CHAN%2010110)) and The Hallé, with much repertoire duplication (here (https://www.chandos.net/products/catalogue/HL%207523)) come across a little more 'alive'.
