Description: The 1908 Rhapsody is a 19-minute, single-movement work with two waltzes, an intermezzo right out of Swan Lake and a quickstep finale while the Poem, from only five years later, is a symphonic waltz in six sections in which Bridge first moves away from his early, richly tuneful and colorful idiom toward a more tightly organized and harmonically chromatic style. The Poems (1916) continue this stylistic progression while, moving on to the end of Bridge's life we have Rebus (1940), an extrovert and direct overture, and the first movement of what was to have been a string symphony, left incomplete at the composer's death (the movement's last 21 bars were completed by Anthony Pople in the 1970s) round out this disc of unusual Bridge. 1977 LP release. London Philharmonic Orchestra; Nicholas Braithwaite.
