"Editor's Choice ... vivid and warmly atmospheric; if you care about contemporary British orchestral music, I cannot recommend this CD too highly."
- Gramophone
"Brabbins and his intrepid band seem to be having the time of their lives playing this challengingly expert music and so will you. Recommendation is immediate and automatic."
- Fanfare
Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra bring to life the varied influences of Edward Gregson on this recording of four world premieres, combining the structural clarity of Bartók and Hindemith, the economy and incisiveness of Stravinsky, the rhythmic flair of Walton and the simple modality of Vaughan Williams. To that list, Tippett, Lutoslawski, Messiaen and John Adams could also be added. This is a consciously eclectic mix, informing an approach to writing which is rigorous, disciplined and rooted firmly within the symphonic mainstream. The soloists on the Clarinet Concerto and Violin Concerto are Michael Collins and Olivier Charlier respectively.
