Description
Anthony Burgess, celebrated author of A Clockwork Orange, memorably filmed by Stanley Kubrick, once said, "I wish people would think of me as a musician who writes novels, instead of a novelist who writes music on the side." Initially thwarted in his desire for a professional musical career, Burgess returned to composition in the mid-1970s, writing prolifically in many genres. His music is mostly tonal but sometimes dissonant, a hybrid of Holst and Hindemith. Mr W.S. is an imaginative evocation of the Elizabethan era while Mr Burgess's Almanack is a variegated work of ingenuity and charm with a nod towards modernism. This is the first recording of Burgess's orchestral music.
