As well as the fab Witch of Atlas this has Ivor Gurney’s Gloucestershire Rhapsody which I’ve not heard before.

 

Don’t know what Gloucestershire did to merit this epic set of tunes. The nobilimente is strong with this one.

also enjoying vol2.

 

 

I might get these. Do they sound too close?

Too close  as in a “shut in” sound quality, or as in similar to each other ?
 

As they are British Tone poems, there  will be a similarity between discs, not least as most pieces will have been written in a fairly narrow window of time and many have themes at least  ostensibly around the British landscape,  but as someone whose interest is in British orchestral music, I’d say both are essential discs.

 

SQ is what you’d expect from  from recent Chandos HiRes - open dynamic, detailed.

Sorry, I meant (overly) close mic'ed.

Afraid I‘m not 100% confident as to what that means and what it would sound like in a large general orchestral recording. Best thing is to listen yourself on a streaming service or to the track excerpts on the Chandos site.  I’m enjoying enough to likely buy the downloads.

 

Just noticed, Presto have Chandos 24/96 at MP3  price (£8) until end of July.
