Classical Music Playlist, February 26, 2024
The symphony No. 3, the “English” Symphony, by English composer Sir Hubert Parry from 1889 was the most performed symphony in England in the next twenty years and had a strong influence on fellow English composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar, as well as on the “sound” of subsequent English music traditions. Parry’s influential Symphony No. 3 is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
