Led by Laurance Turner
Conducted by Julian Clifford
Joseph Joachim Raff was bom ten years before Clementi died, and during the sixty years of his life made a name for himself as a composer, piano teacher, and ardent supporter of the ' new music' of Liszt and Wagner. However, as a composer Raff was not brave enough to break away from convention and follow the innovations of Liszt, so he confined himself for the most part to the classical style, of which the ' Italian' Suite is a good example.
Nevertheless, in some of his more ambitious works like the ' Im Walde ' and ' Lenore ' Symphonies, the ' Schone Mullerin ' String Quartet (based on the same subject as Schubert's famous song-cycle), Raff ventures into the realm of descriptive music.
