{"product_id":"wordsworth-orchestral-music-vol-2","title":"Wordsworth: Orchestral Music, Vol. 2","description":"The music of William Wordsworth (1908–88) – a great-great-grandson of the poet’s brother Christopher – lies downstream from that of Vaughan Williams and Sibelius; like that of his contemporary Edmund Rubbra, Wordsworth’s music unfolds spontaneously, as a natural process. This second volume brings two concertos, both major works – though long forgotten, and strongly contrasted in their approach: the gritty and muscular Piano Concerto is cast in a single, tightly argued span, whereas the lyrical Violin Concerto is expansive and unhurried – and deeply touching. They are complemented by the Three Pastoral Sketches, which grow gently from understated autumnal hues to a dignified and moving climax. All three scores show an extraordinary command of orchestral color.","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606728843544,"sku":"5060113445261","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3687788-2413324.jpg?v=1777636997","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/wordsworth-orchestral-music-vol-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
