On this Lyrita disc at least, Elizabeth Maconchy comes off like a genuinely great composer. The supple strength of her Overture, Proud Thames from 1952, the rugged integrity of her Symphony for Double String Orchestra from 1953, the lyrical austerity of her Serenata Concertante for Violin and Orchestra from 1962, and especially the sublime objectivity of her late Music for Strings from 1983 all speak with a highly articulate and deeply individualistic voice that sounds nothing like her teacher Vaughan Williams and even less like any other English composer. Indeed, every work here sounds like nothing so much as great music -- superbly crafted, seriously considered, intensely expressive, and passionate. With the unstoppable Vernon Handley leading the London Philharmonic in the Overture and the London Symphony in the Symphony for Double String Orchestra and redoubtable Barry Wordsworth leading the London Philharmonic in the Music for Strings, every work is brilliantly performed, but best of all is violinist Manoug Parikian's sweetly but severely expressive Serenata Concertante accompanied by Handley once again leading the London Symphony. Recorded in honest late stereo sound -- the Overture, Symphony, and Serenata Concertante -- and true early digital sound -- the Music for Strings -- this disc is an excellent introduction to the composer.
