Musical storms

[Jimfin]

Dundonnell, your weight and value are inestimably high: the joy your uploads have given me in the last few weeks I can scarcely express.

[Dundonnell]

Ooohh....Thanks, Jim

As I have said before the really important thing is to get the all this music living and breathing again by having it on this site for others to hear and keep if they so wish. I read only last night a post I made on another site three years ago where I referred wistfully to having certain British symphonies on old and "unplayable" tapes. Well...the "unplayable" proved to be untrue

[Dundonnell]

Aahh

The recording I have is the Vivian Dunn/City of Birminghjam SO performance. This has never been transferred to cd so if there is any interest in it then I can certainly upload the performance now that I have digitised it

I would be very interested and I'd bet I'm not alone!  Thank you. 

"Links to Sullivan's Incidental Music to "The Tempest" and also Overture "In Memoriam" sent to Albion. Should be available soon."

No That promise too will have to be withdrawn. Apparently the Dunn performances have been issued on cd.

Profuse Apologies

[Albion]

Yes, Dunn's performances (Suites from The Tempest and The Merchant of Venice together with the Overture In Memoriam) have been repeatedly coupled on CD with the Malcolm Sargent comic opera recordings (EMI) and still are.

How about "Cloudburst" from Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite; and "Sand Storm" from his Death Valley Suite.

The major portion of Henry Hadley's tone poem The Ocean is given to depiction of a storm, and a great rattling one it is. Delius early opera The Magic Fountain features a storm in the opening, but it is rather mild by comparison with others.

Philip Sainton's tone poem The Island is a gorgeous work with a central storm section. Remarkable music.

... which reminds me of the first movement, "Shipwreck", from Ernst Bacon's The Enchanted Island (1954), based on Shakespeare's Tempest.
