Lloyd's Symphony No.4 is a one-movement orchestral riot, the product of a truly eclectic imagination: the jazz influences of Milhaud and the orchestral palette of Britten temper the rigour of Lloyd's training in the tradition of Webern and Boulanger. |

Anthony Payne, narrator
Elgar's complete sketches for the 3rd Symphony, exactly as the composer left them, are brought to life by pianist David Owen Norris, Robert Gibbs playing Reed's own violin and the BBCSO with a commentary from Anthony Payne.
Birtwistle's awe-inspiring masterpiece is a key work in the development of post-war opera, groundbreaking in its fusion of music, song, drama, myth and electronics. The three discs are accompanied by a facsimile of Peter Zinovieff's remarkable libretto.

Elgar died in 1934 leaving behind the sketches for a 4-movement symphony; the Elgar family's decision to commission Anthony Payne to realise the sketches has produced an astonishing work of truly Elgarian nobility.
