Product description

Arthur Bliss's "Miracle In The Gorbals Suite" is a captivating blend of orchestral brilliance and dramatic storytelling, originally composed as a ballet suite. Released on January 1, 2000, under the Maestoso label, this album spans 46 minutes of rich, evocative music that transports the listener into the gritty, yet miraculous world of the Gorbals, a district in Glasgow. The suite is divided into several movements, each painting a vivid picture of the narrative, from the haunting "Overture" to the intense "Finale: The Killing Of The Stranger." The album also includes "Music For Strings," a three-movement orchestral piece that showcases Bliss's mastery of string arrangements. With its dynamic range and emotional depth, this album is a testament to Bliss's compositional prowess and his ability to create music that is both powerful and deeply moving.
