This CD features the Toronto Symphony performing five works of the distinguished modern Canadian composer Godfrey Ridout(1918-1984). Ridout worked in a classical vein with a modern idiom, including influences of post-impressionism as well as of the musical experiments of Charles Ives.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
