William Conway

Background: In this program, Britten and Stokowski interpret works by Purcell in their own idioms; Britten draws on his English musical roots to inspire an original work, Lachrymae and Britten himself is the source of inspiration in Pärt’s Cantus. In the case of the Vaughan Williams, Tippett and Walton works, the inspirations are other composers and literature.

Reviewing the concert during which this CDs was recorded, The Independent reviewer wrote, 'The central attraction of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe remains its string section, playing with a sweetness of intonation and exactness of ensemble that we hear all too rarely in Britain these days. But the whole orchestra - plangent oboes, rounded horns - projected a fullness and intensity, as if playing for its life.'
