Arnold Bax Symphony No.4 1/5

Bax considered his Fourth to be a "brazenly romantic"(his exact words) symphony. Like all of his other six works in this genre, the fourth is tuneful, evocative and quite exciting. Bax's music will NOT hurt your ears, unless you are not all that romantic.

None the less.....DISCOVER AND ENJOY!

Arnold Bax's Symphony no. 1

Although Bax wrote seven Symphonies, critics and historians alike consider his first two Symphonies to be his greatest in this genre. I must agree with them. The other five Symphonies are magnificent with the Fourth probably being one of my very favourite works by the composer!

This piece and "Tintagel" have always been amongst my favourite tone poems not only by Arnold Bax but by any other English composer! Aren't these children amazing, playing a piece of this size and complexity! WOW!

Arnold Bax's Tintagel......an evocation of the force of nature
