1PD27 The Art of Basil Cameron
Percy Grainger, who had taken part in Basil Cameron's 1914 Torquay music festival described Cameron as possessing a "peculiar quality of excitement and exhilaration". Sir Henry Wood described Cameron as having a "real grip over the orchestra". On this disc you can hear exactly why these views were expressed. It contains:
- Gabriel Pierne - March of the Little Lead Soldiers [listen]
- Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No. 8 in G Op. 88 [listen]
- Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt Suites Nos. 1 & 2 [listen]
- Percy Grainger - Jutish Melody [listen]
| "Cameron's unaffectedly poetic style immediately registers, while his secure grasp of symphonic form makes for a memorably direct Dvorak Eight" Rob Cowan in Gramophone October 2008 |
| "What a musician! Cameron here conducts the lovelist performance of Dvoark's Eight Symphony I've ever heard, bar none, with playing to match. His Peer Gynt too, is fabulous" ***** for performance. Micheal Hayes in BBC Music September 2008 |
