The Albany Symphony Orchestra, conducted by George Lloyd
Please order from Wyastone Estate ORDER
The audience at the Troy Music Hall was in for a treat the night of March 30, 1990: George Lloyd, was going to conduct both his earliest and latest Symphonies. The First was written in a burst of inspiration after he turned 19 and it was first performed in November of 1932, with a second performance a year later. Then the work was revised twice, and untouched until the 1980s, when Lloyd deemed it worthy of revival. Â The Twelfth Symphony, commissioned for the Albany Symphony, would be his last work in the series. Like the Symphony in A, the work is in a single movement consisting of three continuous sections.Â
