Composer George Lloyd wrote in a neo-Romantic style and had the bad luck to come of age, after recovering from PTSD during World War II, as modernism finally rolled over Britain. When his work finally began to be recorded, it was on the poorly distributed label Albany. This album of the first six symphonies is part of a hefty planned series of Lloyd releases from the Lyrita label, and it is to be welcomed. The recordings were made for Albany between 1986 and 1992, with Lloyd conducting the BBC Symphony and the Albany Symphony, which acquits itself generally quite well. The brass work, very important in Lloyd's output, is fine throughout, and hear the strings in the Lento of the Symphony No. 4 in B minor ("Arctic"). That work is perhaps Lloyd's masterpiece and, with its military passages, seems to refer to his wartime experiences (he almost drowned in a vat of oil after his ship was torpedoed). It is absolutely worthy of further hearings. Another highlight is something of an outlier; Charade ("Scenes from the '60s") is not a symphony but a little satirical suite portraying aspects of the counterculture. Try the "LSD" movement. Lloyd was a partly frustrated opera composer, and his writing has a dramatic quality that draws on Verdi, interspersed with passages of contrapuntal complexity. The first three symphonies are youthful works, written when Lloyd was about 20, and they are exuberant in many ways. The slow movements of the Symphony No. 5 and Symphony No. 6 reveal a major tunesmith. This is a wonderful collection of works that raises high expectations for future Lloyd releases in the series.
