Gilbert's entrancing violin concerto, On Beholding a Rainbow, is performed by rising stars Anthony Marwood (violin) and Garry Walker (conductor) with the RNCM Symphony Orchestra, and coupled with Unrise and ...Into the gyre of a madder dance - two new works written for the wind ensemble of the Royal Northern College of Music, where Gilbert was for many years Head of Composition. The disc is completed by the haunting song-cycle Certain Lights Reflecting, which sets evocative texts by Tasmanian poet Sarah Day; it is heard here in a live recording by mezzo-soprano Susan Bickley, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sir Andrew Davis. |

Gary Carpenter’s witty and dramatic writing style has featured in numerous films - including The Wicker Man and The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy - as well as on TV, in the opera house and concert hall.
The works on this portrait disc cover his period as composer in residence for the RLPO’s specialist new music group, Ensemble 10/10, and include the increasingly riotous Mozart tribute, Ein Musikalisches Snookerspiel for wind octet; After Braque, a sonic tour de force with a line-up including 2 saxophones, mandolin and accordion; Van Assendelft’s Vermeer, for clavichord; and Die Flimmerkiste - German slang for 'the flicks', a record of a riotous two years spent in small-town Germany. |

Adam Gorb is best known for his award-winning music for symphonic wind ensemble, and this recording features Towards Nirvana - a reflection on the life and teachings of Buddha - as well as the exuberant Scenes from Bruegel, illuminating the painter's depictions of human folly. The recording is completed with Ascent - inspired by Cézanne’s almost Cubist paintings of Mont Sainte-Victoire - and Farewell.
All these works are recorded by the the Royal Northern College's acclaimed Wind Orchestra, conducted by Clark Rundell, Timothy Reynish and Mark Heron.
