Product details
None of these symphonies has ever been performed in public. Once
you've heard this music you will wonder why. All three works are
definitely worth hearing. By making use of his digital orchestra,
David Stanhope has breathed life into these neglected works,
making them available to be heard for the first time.
David Stanhope says "Few ears, even those of an expert, are
likely to notice the difference between an actual orchestra and a
digital one like my orchestra, if not told beforehand. But
spotting flaws (which may be the absence of flaws!) is not the
point. It is the music itself and its worth that matters most in
creating digital performances that bring unknown or neglected
music to life. It needs to be stressed that there is no intention
to replace orchestras or their players by this project; it
records music that cannot presently be heard because existing
orchestras do not play it. The one should complement the other,
and may lead to recognition and future performances."
Stanhope is a renowned Australian conductor, noted for his many
operatic performances and his recording and performing work with
Australian orchestras. This project is part of his research for
his doctorate and is a world-first in the international world of
recording.
Duration: 71 min.
