FLURY, R.: Orchestral Music, Vol. 5 - Symphony No. 3, "Bucheggbergische" / Fastnachts-Sinfonie (BBC Symphony, P. Mann)

This fifth volume of the orchestral works of the late-Romantic Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896–1967) brings two works deeply bound up with his native Solothurn, in the north-west of the country. His Fastnachts-Sinfonie, or ‘Carnival Symphony’, is an expansive symphonic poem predicated on local legend and folk tradition, embracing both frolic and feeling. The Third Symphony – in which one can hear traces of Bruckner and Richard Strauss – celebrates the rolling hills and endless skies of the Bucheggberg, where he loved to go walking and where, the freewheeling music would suggest, his heart found freedom.
