Both the Third and Seventh Symphonies of Rubbra are introspective, but to my untrained ears the latter succeeds far better than its companion on this disc. Other reviewers have analyzed both far better than I can, so let me limit myself just to the emotional reaction I had to each. As I said, both strike me as introspective, but the Third seems to have a much more restrained emotional spectrum, plodding along with sufficient energy and invention to keep my interest but never stepping very far from the beaten path. The Seventh, on the other hand, does begin to get into the emotional wilds, though in a restrained way -- with Rubbra you don't get fireworks, but that's not to say there isn't drama. Trodding the entire Rubbra symphonic cycle is recommended, and this particular stop along the way will be rewarding to the listener who can sit back but still keep his or her ears perked, particularly in the Seventh Symphony.
