description
Across 36 instrumental movements Glière demonstrates his ease with received styles. Take Tao-Hoa’s entrance and The Rose-Ship (CD1 trs. 3 and CD2 tr. 7) which is Tchaikovskian in the manner of Nutcracker. A chiming dusting of Chinoiserie returns in Dance of the Chinese Women (CD1 tr. 14) and Umbrella Dance (CD2 tr. 11).
In Tao-Hoa’s Entrance we also hear a singing instrumental line that is to return time and again. That recurrent melodic outline line recalls Amy Woodforde-Finden’s Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar and does so fleetingly but unmistakably. This contrasts with the Grand Hotel frothy Gallic nonsense, decadence and nostalgia of Restaurant, Boston Waltz, European Dance (CD1 trs. 4, 6), Phoenix, Charleston and Dance in the Restaurant (CD2 trs. 5, 8, 9). This is music that when it is not aping Gaieté Parisienne resembles that of Barber’s wonderful Souvenirs in its orchestral garb. • © 2018 MusicWeb International
