It’s back-to-back Bax! For Arnold Bax’s birthday, enjoy his moody tone poem “November Woods” of 1917.
Like it? Follow it up with “Red Autumn” for two pianos.
The work was originally composed in 1912, and though Bax never orchestrated it, it’s thought that his original intention had been to do so. Here it is, realized by Graham Parlatt in 2006.
Happy birthday, Arnold Bax (1883-1953)!
