Description: These works for baritone and orchestra belong to the Edwardian tradition of the genre begun by Elgar in 1899 with his Sea Pictures. Most of these are quite rare and several of them have been orchestrated, completed or adapted for this recording by Graham Parlett. Jeremy Dibble orchestrated the Wagnerian scena from Parry's unfinished opera Guenever (dating from the mid 1880s). No texts. Roderick Williams (baritone), BBC Concert Orchestra; Martin Yates.
