Free Music Notes for Fry: Santa Claus Symphony / Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Free Music Review: pre-commercialism Santa music
Hit: 4 Stars
This disc is not what I thought it would be...and I am glad for it! Release from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is composed of four delightful orchestral tone poems. Each is fun in its own way. Yet the Santa Claus Symphony was not what I was thinking it would be. It is amazing how much my expectation of music about Santa has been shaped by twentieth/twenty-first century commercialism. This music was a great antidote to my biases. I enjoy its inventiveness and its palpably felt joy. The carol motif at the end is especially wonderful.
The best of the other three pieces is the Macbeth overture. It is really a great piece that probably deserves a broader audience. Hopefully this disc will win it one.
If you want some great, original music, you could do worse than this disc (especially at Naxos prices). I recommend it wholeheartedly.
