Description:

A dream inspired Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) to compose The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Kahn, based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The composer originally wrote it for piano in 1912. Four years later, at the encouragement of Ferruccio Busoni, he expanded it into a shimmering symphonic poem. Following the first performance in the autumn of 1919 under the direction of Pierre Monteux, it achieved great success and remains one of his most frequently-performed works today. The work reveals the influence of French impressionism, meandering through the lush gardens of the legendary palace. This edition by Gregory Vaught is part of the Nieweg Performance Editions series. Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2+EH.2+BCl.3: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(3): Hp(2).Clst.Pno: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
