A Lark Ascending Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 No. 18 No 1 of the Matthews. The Wooden Prince - played this last week but was reading about it today and decided to give it more attention. It's a piece I've usually played in the background without it making much of an impression (it doesn't have those 'big tunes' that allows ballets like The Firebird or Petrushka to jump out when half-listening). Lots of fingerprints of the mature Bartok but it still seems in a Straussian world - huge orchestra, thick orchestrations. What really did catch my attention were the two dances by the princess with the wooden doll that frame the centre of the piece - the influence of his folk music collecting really jumps out there with strange harmonies and off-centre rhythms.

A Lark Ascending Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Disc 2. Beautiful double disc. No 19. Especially like the last movement - the way the motto theme invades the episodes all over the orchestra and fugal effects. One of the first non-20th C 'classical' pieces I bought on LP back in the late-70s. I was a long way from engaging with 18th/19thC music then though for some reason this clicked. Still love the piece. Edited February 25, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
