From musicweb-international:

"Erik Chisholm’s Second Symphony bears the name of the Celtic hero Ossian. He was also the subject of Yeats’ dramatic poem The Wanderings of Usheen – which was the begetter and accelerant for Bax’s life-long absorption into the Gaelic world. Until the recording sessions it was never performed as a symphony although it was quarried for the four-scene ballet The Earth-Shapers which was choreographed by Margaret Morris and did receive performances.

"Chisholm was a musical dynamo in the life of Scotland and especially in Glasgow but then, rather like W.H. Bell, moved to Cape Town where he transformed the musical life of South Africa. Something of his indomitable energy can be felt in the sturdy and tragic cortege tragic that is the first movement of the symphony. The melodic content has a Scottish skirl, snap and snarl and a twist of conflict from Vaughan Williams’ Fourth Symphony. Before the movement ends Chisholm has us breathing the air of heather and the highlands with birdsong suggesting a Caledonian Patrick Hadley. There’s even a murmurous moment or two when the slight sway of the music indicates the influence of Cyril Scott. The middle movement bears a Baxian stamp as well as the bustling impudence of Moeran and all this tricked out in gaudy Russian splendour. The finale is in three separately tracked segments. After a hymn-like introduction the music soon buzzes with activity. It transiently suffers from a touch of fugal academicism but this is quickly offset by an energy redolent of Bax's Northern Ballad No. 1. Moments of wistful beauty take us back to heather hills and stately cavalcades of cloud. The music retreats most impressively into serenity and the far horizon."
