Product details
This CD presents orchestral works by David Stanhope and four of
his transcriptions for orchestra. Except for Olympic Fireworks,
which was part of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games opening ceremony,
all these works are hitherto unperformed in public.
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: 77 min.
