Chandos has already issued a recording of one of Bainton's major Australian works, his Second Symphony, but this collection is devoted to much earlier pieces. The Concerto Fantasia, completed in 1920, is the major work here - a 30-minute, five-movement concertante piece for piano and orchestra that's a genuinely fresh attempt to breathe new life into the concerto form. But the other pieces here - the suite The Golden River inspired by the countryside around the Tyne, Three Pieces for Orchestra, based on music Bainton wrote while interned in Germany during the first world war, and the Pavane, Idyll and Bacchanal from 1924 - are much less distinctive and indebted to Delius most of all. The performances under Paul Daniel, though, with Margaret Fingerhut the agile soloist in the Concerto Fantasia, have just the right sparkle and elegance.
Performer: Yuri Torchinksy, Margaret Fingerhut
Conductor: Paul Daniel
Orchestra/Ensemble: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra
Reviews: Here we start with two three movement orchestral suites. The Three Pieces reshuffle some music Bainton wrote during his internment at Ruhleben camp: 1914-1918. The end result is three movements of Arden-like pastoral pleasantry. This is the lighter Bainton but not as light as say Coates. This is music both gently magical and bluffly celebratory - a touch of Korngold in the last piece. The Pavane is Tchaikovskian and balletic yet with a touch of Binge about it. The Idyll is rather Debussian - the faun here being a flaneur rather than a voluptuary. The Bacchanal has the bluff exterior of a Holst suite - Brook Green or St Paul's or indeed of RVW's Concerto Grosso.
The earliest item here is the four movement suite from The Golden River. This is redolent of Massenet's suites and Tchaikovsky's minor tone poems such as Hamlet or The Tempest with a whiff of Elgar's cigar smoke in the Little Gluck movement. A chattering Mendelssohnian King of the Golden River movement flitters and flashes along at speed. A real weight of utterance can however be felt in the lush sway and summery heaviness of The Golden River movement which rises to an almost Baxian climactic at 4:51.
The Concerto-Fantasia - a work of staggering originality in comparison to the other pieces here was begun in Ruhleben camp in 1917 and finished in 1920. It is in four movements and an epilogue. The long first movement is almost half the length of the whole work. It begins with the piano solo in wreathes of smiling cadenza-like flurries of crystalline notes. The redolences are of Bax's contemporaneous and statuesquely static Symphonic Variations and the similarly coeval Scott First Concerto. It also recalls Dukas's sense of fantasy and Scriabin's Piano Concerto yet has plenty of movement including an impudently Elgarian rhythmic grit which carries over into the Scherzo. The finale reminded me a little of John Ireland but with more emotional muscle and virility.
Paul Daniel, Margaret Fingerhut, the BBC Phil and Chandos have literally done the honours here and these four premiere recordings inestimably enhance the Bainton catalogue. The notes are by Michael Jones (who has written an article on Bainton for Musicweb) whose personally costly dedication to the Bainton cause has been as richly rewarded as are the fortunes of the listener who encounters this fascinating music brought back to us from the groves of oblivion.
