Hyperion's mini-series of Bantock's orchestral music (available now as a box, CDS44281/6) has won innumerable plaudits from press and public. This CD will add weight to the growing feeling that the rich and romantic music of this composer should be heard more often than it is. All six of the pieces on this disc are first recordings. The major work is 'Thalaba the Destroyer', based on a poem by Victorian Poet Laureate, Robert Southey.
