Perhaps the best known of all his orchestral works Bax’s Tintagel is a vivid tonal impression of the castle-crowned cliff of Tintagel in Cornwall. Here the legends of King Arthur and the scenic grandeur of the Atlantic ocean fired Bax’s imagination into producing some of the most vivid sea music ever written. Twenty years later Bax embarked upon his seventh and final symphony, relishing the Celtic tradition and combining playful exuberance with haunting wistfulness, serenity and poise, a true representation of the culmination of his musical achievements.
