MARSHALL-HALL: SYMPHONY in E flat
THE QUEENSLAND THEATRE ORCHESTRA
cond. WARREN BEBBINGTON

(FIRST EVER RECORDING)
George William Louis Marshall-Hall (1862-1915) was one of Australia's first significant composers. He dedicated his Symphony in E flat to his "friends and comrades under the Southern Cross", Streeton and Roberts.
This is lively and passionate music, exuberant and rich in orchestral colours with strong thematic ideas. The Symphony was premiered in Melbourne in 1904, then played at Berlin (under Nikisch) and in London under Henry Wood. It had not been performed since 1907 until this recording was made. The CD also includes the Adagio Sostenuto from Marshall-Hall's Symphony in C minor.
