CD Reviews

Familiar and unfamiliar, early and late Coates' works.
John Austin | Kangaroo Ground, Australia | 12/28/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A second CD of the music of Eric Coates, featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by John Wilson, takes its name from the principal item - a 20 minute piece for large orchestra called "The Enchanted Garden". In its final form (1937), it was intended for a ballet with a scenario devised by Coates' wife Phyllis. To me it sounds like a symphonic poem, with a particularly engaging "boop-boop-a-doo" opening theme. Elsewhere you will find the familiar and unfamiliar. You will also find a very early work, "A La Gavotte" (1912) and his last work, a march "High Flight" (1956). Comparisons with Coates' own recordings show that John Wilson keeps close to Coates' rather fleet speeds. My favourite here is "Dance in the Twilight" from the 1937 "Springtime Suite", as evocative and beautifully scored a piece of light music as any that might find its way into your cart."
Eric Coates Rules!

"Yet another winner in the ASV series of Eric Coates CDs. The highly professional BBC Concert Orchestra have once again created a most worthy presentation of works by Eric Coates. As with the companion CD, "Eric Coates~17 Orchestral Miniatures," the diversity of works will satisy and delight all E.C. fans."
