Abstract
"A frequent collaborator with both the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Jac van Steen, David Matthews' new recording explores both the natural world and the symphonic idea, the second of which has, in his words, "obsessed me since I started composing at the age of 16." As well the Sinfonia and Symphony No. 8, the programme includes Toward Sunrise; inspired by the sound of the sun (a rising fourth of C-F), as recorded by scientists at Sheffield University, and A Vision of the Sea; drawn from the sights and sounds of English Channel near the composers' home in Deal, Kent. With a singular body of work spanning almost 60 years, David Matthews has established an international reputation as one of the leading symphonists of our time."--Publisher's website.
