Symphony 2 - I - Allegro piacevole by Alan Rawsthorne

schubertiade:

Symphony No. 2 A Pastoral Symphony (1959); I. Allegro piacevole

Alan Rawsthorne, composer

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra; David Lloyd-Jones

(b Haslingden, 2 May 1905; d Cambridge, 24 July 1971). English composer. He studied as a pianist at the RCM and abroad with Petri; only at the end of the 1930s did he begin to make a name as a composer. Influenced by Hindemith, he developed a highly crafted and abstract style, chiefly in concertos and other orchestral works. His inclination towards motivic thinking and variation structures brought some approximation to 12-note techniques, but tonal centres remained important. He wrote three symphonies (1950, 1959, 1964), two piano concertos (1939, 1951), two violin concertos (1948, 1956), three string quartets (1939, 1954, 1964) and sonatas for viola, cello and violin.
