The Countess of Wessex’s String OrchestraConductor
David B HammondAbout
The Countess of Wessex's String Orchestra is very sensitively directed by Major David Hammond, a truly fine musician. The orchestra consists of the best string players in the Army who are very fine and highly trained musicians. The quality of playing is really excellent and the performances musicianly and committed. The CD was recorded in the sumptuous acoustic of the Guards Chapel in London and the recording engineer is the legendary Tony Faulkner. Mike Purton was producer and editor and we recommend this recording to anyone who loves British music of a certain period (see above). Lee's 'Rivers of Devon' Suite is very Elgarian, Speer's little Nocturne brings to mind Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll and you can see from many of the titles that the spirit of Rural England is frequently invoked. This recording has been made in collaboration with the Corps of Army Music Trust.
