Trevor Pinnock and London Philharmonic Orchestra et al performs Walter Leigh's Orchestral Works
In 1942 the battle of Tobruk took place. In the battle one of the most promising composers in England was lost to the cruelty of war. He was a craftman-composer with strong similiarties to such favorites of my as Haydn and other 18th century composers. In the British library parts of a symphony is persevered. In this recording several orchestras give tribute to the pieces which was completed before the war. This weeks favorite in my view!
About Walter Leigh
Quote:
During the nineteen thirties Walter Leigh became known in England as a gifted and versatile composer. He was born in London in 1905 and after graduating from Cambridge he was accepted into Hindemith's first composition class at the Berlin Hochschule fur Musik where he studied 1927-1929. This Sonatina shows the influence of Hindemith and was written for Rebecca Clarke who performed it in London in 1930. It was featured at the ISCM in Vienna in 1932. Leigh joined the army in 1941 and was killed in Libya in June 1942, shortly before his 37th birthday. He composed in a wide range of genres which include two comic operas, revues, and music for documentary films. Sketches for a symphony are in the British Library.
