Free Music Notes for Bax: Quintet for Harp & Strings / Sonata Flute & Harp
Free Music Review: Bax the Impressionist
Hit: 4 Stars
The four works here vary from well known to little known. The widely played Elegiac Trio is gently and elegantly presented. It's an understated piece, in my mind showing Bax at his most "impressionistic". Mobius have the feeling , pace and musical sense correct, but there is room for at bit more passion here and there. The less well known sonatas for flute and harp and viola and harp are also well played, with a good sense of communication between the players. Bax's writing for harp is a revelation. It's lyrical and constructive, displaying none of the potential for show off arpeggios that might be suggested by his writing for piano in the sonatas. The quintet is convincing. High marks for content, above average for interpretation.
