'Orchestral Works' by Edgar Bainton: A-12:00 AM CDT on Saturday, May 10, 2008Bainton A-Orchestral Works Fingerhut, BBC Philharmonic, Daniel (Chandos) EDGAR WHO? If the name Edgar Bainton rings a bell, it's because you've sung his gorgeous life-after-death anthem "And I saw a new heaven." Otherwise, the British composer (1880-1956) essentially dropped off the radar after he moved to Australia in 1934 to head a conservatory in Sydney. PASTORAL PASTELS: If this sampling of orchestral music is representative, Bainton's obscurity is anything but deserved. Titles such as "Humoresque," "Idyll" and "The Golden River" set you up for the pastoral pastels at which early 20th-century English composers excelled. Bainton's isn't the most distinctive voice, but echoes of Delius, occasionally of Grieg, are far from unwelcome. SENSITIVE PLAYING: The 1920 Concerto fantasia for piano and orchestra, the largest-scale piece here, has a persuasive soloist in Margaret Fingerhut. Throughout the CD, Paul Daniel gets sensitive playing from the BBC Philharmonic, wrapped in typically plush Chandos sonics. BOTTOM LINE: Beautiful music lovingly performed. More, please!
