Although unjustly neglected in favour of his choral music, Parry's symphonies are well worth listening to. Among these, his Symphony No.5 in B minor "Symphonic Fantasia" stands out, combining the nobilmente of Elgar's symphonies and the gravity of Brahms. "The really clever, coherent thing about this close-knit piece - four movements linked as one - is the emotional memory that Parry carries forward with the development and transformation of his themes", wrote Edward Seckerson of the Independent when reviewing this work at the proms in 2010. The 成人快手 Philharmonic provide a sensitive performance in the hands of Vassily Sinaisky.

The culmination of our series this week of Hubert Parry's five Symphonies coincides with a programme later today on 成人快手4 in which HRH The Prince of Wales will be exploring his love of the music of Parry and will be investigating his life and legacy.
