Cecil Armstrong Gibbs: Suite in A for Violin and Orchestra/Dusk/The Enchanted Wood/A Vision of Night/Crossings Suite and other works

[SACD Hybrid Multi-channel]

This varied selection of tuneful but largely unfamiliar orchestral music by Cecil Armstrong Gibbs includes the delightful suite from his collaboration with Walter de la Mare, the “fairy play” Crossings. Gibbs’s music is very much an escapist art, full of charming tunes – as exemplified by The Enchanted Wood, which the composer described as “a dance phantasy,” and the full orchestral version of his most popular work, the haunting slow waltz Dusk. In a similar light music vein are the attractive The Cat and the Wedding Cake (from the television operetta Mr. Cornelius) and Four Orchestral Dances, written for a BBC Light Music Festival. In contrast are the Symphonic poem A Vision of Night, which reflects Gibbs’s enthusiasm for the new music at the Diaghilev ballet, and the neo-classical Suite in A for violin and orchestra.
