{"product_id":"nixon-complete-orchestral-works-vol-1","title":"Nixon: Complete Orchestral Works, Vol. 1","description":"This new series from Toccata Classics presents the music of a composer-conductor from Victorian England who has entirely disappeared from music history. Henry Cotter Nixon (1842-1907) turns out to have been one of the most accomplished English composers of his generation, with a style that takes in elements of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Verdi and Brahms. This series of three albums presents all his surviving orchestral music in its first-ever recordings. Nixon labeled his five-movement Palamon and Arcite a symphonic poem, and indeed, it is one of the first by a British composer, but in fact, it is more of a programmatic symphony, of the sort then being written by composers such as Goldmark and Raff.","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49604655218968,"sku":"5060113443724","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3525265.jpg?v=1777638684","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/nixon-complete-orchestral-works-vol-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
