He was a teacher who boasted disciples rather than pupils (among them, Kurt Weill) and he was also a composer of grandiose notions and mixed talents, which are illuminated by English Pianist John Ogdon and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this 70-minute work The introductory movement seems to be all stately facade, but once inside the musical structure, the listener has a merry whirl, particularly in the carnival atmosphere of the Tarantella...
