Released on May 1, 1997, this album spans an impressive five hours and twenty-six minutes, featuring all ten of Rubbra's symphonies, each a masterpiece in its own right. From the tempestuous energy of Symphony No. 1 to the sacred and reflective tones of Symphony No. 9, "Sinfonia Sacra," Rubbra's compositions are a testament to his profound musical insight and technical brilliance.
The album begins with Symphony No. 1, Op. 44, which immediately sets the stage with its dramatic and tempestuous opening movement. Each subsequent symphony reveals Rubbra's evolving style and his ability to convey a wide spectrum of emotions and narratives through his music. Symphony No. 2, Op. 45, for instance, includes a lively scherzo and a serene adagio, while Symphony No. 3, Op. 49, features a theme with variations and a fugue, showcasing Rubbra's contrapuntal mastery.
Symphony No. 4, Op. 53, introduces a more introspective mood with its grave and calm introduction, followed by a majestic allegro. The album continues to unfold with Symphony No. 5, Op. 63, which balances energetic and moderate tempos, and Symphony No. 6, Op. 80, which includes a serene largo and a vivacious finale. Symphony No. 7 in C, Op. 88, stands out with its expressive lento and a powerful passacaglia and fugue.
The later symphonies, including Symphony No. 8, Op. 132, "Hommage à Teilhard de Chardin," and Symphony No. 9, Op. 140, "Sinfonia Sacra," delve into more philosophical and spiritual themes. The "Sinfonia Sacra" is particularly notable for its choral and narrative elements, adding a rich, multi-dimensional layer to the composition. The album concludes with Symphony No. 10, Op. 145, "Sinfonia da Camera," a work that combines chamber-like intimacy with symphonic grandeur.
Recorded by the Chandos label, this collection is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the symphonic repertoire of the 20th century. Edmund Rubbra's "Complete Symphonies" is not just an album but a comprehensive journey through the mind and soul of a composer who left an indelible mark on classical music. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to Rubbra's work, this album offers a profound and enriching listening experience.
Edmund Rubbra (1901-1986) was a prominent British composer known for his diverse and dramatic musical compositions. Throughout his career, Rubbra created a wide range of works, but he is particularly renowned for his eleven symphonies, which brought him significant fame, especially in the mid-20th century. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Rubbra never adopted the dodecaphonic style, instead focusing on a more improvisational and emotionally charged approach. His compositions are filled with a sense of drama and spontaneity, making each piece a unique and engaging experience. Although his later works may not have achieved the same level of popularity as his earlier ones, Rubbra's dedication to his craft never wavered. Today, while his music may be less recognized than one might expect given his past success, it remains a testament to his enduring talent and artistic vision.
