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 />

Mussorgsky describes ten paintings by his<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 />
