Collection: Orchestral Works Subcollection: Orchestra 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.

Collection: Chamber Music Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble Endymion celebrates its 30th anniversary with a survey of new commissions from composers who have worked with the ensemble, from senior figures in British music - such as Anthony Payne, Simon Bainbridge and Simon Holt, and younger but established talents like Morgan Hayes and Dai Fujikura - to those at an early stage of their career, such as Joanna Bailie, James Weeks and Naomi Pinnock.
Endymion was formed in 1979 from a group of outstanding National Youth Orchestra students and retains most of its original players.
Endymion has been described as one of the few chamber groups as at home with Mozart as with Birtwistle.
Endymion’s Sound Census project has reached beyond the new pieces on this disc, to include primary and secondary school students in the London Boroughs of Westminster, Camden and Tower Hamlets. Seven Alevel and GCSE students created new pieces in close collaboration with Endymion players. |
