In Bantock's music (complete box: CDS44281/6) inspiration and technical invention often display an epic dimension. Bantock began training as a chemical engineer, but this did not stop his musical talent. The Wilderness and the Solitary Place is part of one of no fewer than ten segments of a massive Festival Symphony based on the life of Christ, a score completed in 1901. The Song of Songs was constructed as a drama, perhaps too epic at their time to have frequent performances.
