Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)
Sergio Mims writes:
I guess it's definitely Coleridge-Taylor's time
exactly 100 years after his death. Today at the library at the radio
station where I do my weekly classical music show I came across the old
Angel LP of his Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, which was the first part he
wrote for his eventual Song of Hiawatha cantata trilogy.
It
was misplaced in the wrong section and I found it quite completely by
accident. I had no idea there was a copy in the station's library. Maybe
the spirit of Coleridge-Taylor was guiding me. It's the classic
recording with the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Choral Society
with tenor Richard Lewis conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent
Of
course I've made some changes in next week's show and it will be
the first selection of my classical music radio program on Weds Oct 10
12-3PM on WHPK-FM in Chicago (88.5 locally and can be also heard
livestream on-line on www,whpk.org
Also on the program will be Debussy's Images, Zemlinsky's String Quartet No 4 and Beethoven Missa Solemnis.
