This disc offers a lion’s maw worth of the popular Grainger. Many of these pieces are in versions prepared for performance by Leopold Stokowski. All the great hits are there in balmy arrangements, recordings and performances. Somewhat breaking the mould is the Delian warm bath that is Dreamery. Alongside this element we get the phantasmagoric The Warriors – his largest and most exuberantly kaleidoscopic work written between 1913 and 1916 at the instigation of Beecham for the Ballets Russes. It was never performed by them. If you know Chisholm’s splendid First Piano Concerto you will know what to expect. This feral celebration of warriors from every country and age explodes in showers of aural shrapnel with at least a strand or two owed to Stravinsky’s Rite, Van Dieren’s Chinese Symphony, Delius’s Cuckoo and Bax’s Summer Music. Hickox’s is a good account, supremely well recorded but has not displaced a volcanic July 1982 performance I once heard by Gerard Schwarz and the Waterloo Festival Orchestra. It’s the difference between Eduardo Mata’s Dorian CD of Revueltas’s Sensemaya and Stokowski’s blast furnace original or between Rozhdestvensky’s first LP recording of George Enescu’s First Symphony with the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra and Mihai Brediceanu’s version with the Enescu State Philharmonic Orchestra on Marco Polo. On the other hand Hickox well and truly hammers home the gold and splendour of the work’s dazzling epilogue. John Eliot Gardiner’s version with the Philharmonia – originally on DG with The Planets – has more zest and crisp definition.– Rob Barnett
