This second volume of works by influential American composer John Knowles Paine from conductor JoAnn Falletta and the Ulster Orchestra contains one of Paine’s own personal favourite pieces, his Second Symphony. The programme also includes the Prelude to Oedipus Tyrannus, an immediate hit when first performed, and the world premiere recording of Paine’s last orchestral work, Poseidon and Amphitrite.

The late 19th century witnessed unprecedented musical growth in the United States, and it is impossible to imagine a Copland, an Ives or even a Gershwin without the pioneering groundwork of the ‘Boston Six’, of whom John Knowles Paine was the senior member. Favorite among his own works, Paine’s Second Symphony was described on its New York première as “a serious, important and totally beautiful work.” His Prelude to the tragic play Oedipus Tyrannus was an immediate hit, while An Ocean Fantasy was his last orchestral piece.
