Immerse yourself in the rich orchestral works of Arthur Bliss, a distinguished composer who served as Master of the Queen's Music in Great Britain. This album, released in 1996 by Naxos, presents two of Bliss's notable compositions: "A Colour Symphony" and "Adam Zero." The former is a vivid and programmatic symphony that paints a musical portrait of different colors, each movement evoking the essence of purple, red, blue, and green. The latter is a ballet suite that allegorically explores the cycle of human life, mirroring the passage of the seasons from birth through experience to death. With a duration of 1 hour and 14 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive journey through Bliss's musical vision. The English Northern Philharmonia, conducted by David Lloyd-Jones, delivers a captivating performance that brings Bliss's compositions to life. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to Arthur Bliss's work, this album promises an engaging and enriching listening experience.
