Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90,<br />

"Italian." The work demonstrates a<br />

romantic moodscape of his journey<br />

through Florence, Rome and Naples. A<br />

sunny melody dominates the first<br />

movement (allegro vivace), uniting<br />

artistically with the idyllic second theme in<br />

the course of the movement, and leads to<br />

an impassioned finale. The present<br />

recording thus <strong>com</strong>pletes a circle for the<br />

Gewandhaus Orchestra under the baton<br />

of Kurt Masur.<br />

Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) Pictures<br />

at an Exhibition: In the present recording<br />

"Promenade," which guides the viewer on<br />

his way round the exhibition.<br />

OSCAR'S ORCHESTRA -<br />

VOL. 1 - INTRO TO<br />

CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR<br />

CHILDREN<br />

In the future music is banned. A cruel<br />

dictator called Thadius Vent is determined<br />

to silence all symphonies, harmonies,<br />

lullabies and melodies. But the muted<br />

instruments are fighting back via the<br />

tenacious leadership of a flying grand<br />

piano called Oscar and his walking, talking<br />

orchestra of friends.<br />

Oscar was actually discovered in Mr.<br />

Crotchet's Curiosity Shop by Mr.<br />

Crotchet's wily daughter Rebecca.<br />

Amongst the recruitments to Oscar's<br />

Resistance Movement are Trevor the<br />

Tuba, Eric the Triangle, Sylvia the Flute<br />

and Monty the Violin. They <strong>com</strong>bine their<br />

musical talents to fight back againt<br />

Thadius and his henchmen Lucius and<br />

Tank.<br />

Based on an idea by Jan Younghusband,<br />

Oscar's Orchestra was designed to inspire<br />

children with the delights of classical<br />

music and incorporates famous<br />

orchestrated works from the great<br />

<strong>com</strong>posers in each episode. Episode titles<br />

continue the theme. Hence we have the<br />

likes of 'Oscar Cracks A Nut' and 'Bach To<br />

The Future'.<br />

Oscar's Orchestra has an adult attraction<br />

too, in the form of the late great Dudley<br />

Moore. Dudley, of course, is latterly<br />

famous for his classical skills with the<br />

Grand Piano and is perfectly cast as the<br />

voice of Oscar.<br />
