## Description

George Butterworth’s Fantasia dates from the year of his death, 1916. Before being sent to fight in France he destroyed several manuscripts, but left intact some 93 bars of full score of the Fantasia from which conductor Martin Yates has realised and completed this lyrical and deeply moving performing edition. Aleksei Kiseliov is eloquent in his championship of Cyril Scott’s The Melodist and the Nightingales, an atmospheric cello reverie, while Arnold Bax’s earliest orchestral work, Variations for Orchestra (Improvisations), unheard for over a hundred years, is a gorgeously melodic score showing the young composer to be remarkably skilful in his handling of the orchestra.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exquisite
*by S***T on February 15, 2020*

Wonderful, perfectly nuanced performances. I acquired it for Cyril Scott's cello concertante work "The Melodist and the Nightingale" and I've been listening to it a lot in the evenings... perfect music for dreams and repose. Congratulations to all involved. The work on the Butterworth opus in particular is an extraordinary example of what can be accomplished when inspired artists have the chance to complete a work left unfinished and unregarded.
