GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER - BEST CONTEMPORARY RECORDING 1994 "A fascinating disc: the Concerto isn't quite like anything else I know, and in every aspect NMC have served it well. It deserves the widest possible hearing."Gramophone 1994 |

Lento is music of extraordinary directness and simplicity. It is an enigmatic and hypnotic work within which shifting modal chords progress through the orchestra to create a chorale-like, almost architectural form beneath a calm melodic surface; now something of a cult piece, it is NMC's most consistently-selling recording since its release in 1990. |

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. |
