5.0 out of 5 stars
Exquisite string music wonderfully performed, October 22, 2003
This review is from: Armstrong Gibbs: Dale and Fell (Music for String Orchestra) (Audio CD)
C. Armstrong Gibbs was a superb miniaturist, able to crystallize his musical ideas in delightful, pastoral small pieces. Although sometimes he has been slighted as a lightweight composer, the Guildhall Strings perform with an empathy that demonstrates both the emotional depth and the musical invention that argues against this appraisal. Start with this and then seek out his 1st and 3rd symphonies on Marco Polo. You will not be disappointed.
