THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL
LEONARD GOWINGS (Tenor) Joy ANDREWS (Pianoforte)
THE music in this Suite formed part, originally, of incidental music written for a play, Les Erinny.es, dealing with the old story of Arestes. In the play much is made of the Furies who tormented the unhappy King after he had slain his father.
The first movement is a Greek dance, in which stateliness and grace are deftly blended ; it gathers speed towards the end to finish with real vigour, and leads directly into the second number, 'A woman of Troy ' mourning for her native land. Delicate and quiet, the movement begins with a little oboe solo, which the clarinet echoes an octave lower. The movement is largely in the hands of the woodwinds.
The third movement is rather like a March, vigorous and imposing, with interludes in quieter tone. The Suite is throughout melodious and graceful in the way which listeners have learned to expect from Massenet.
