Martyn Brabbins

Background: Cecil Coles was killed near the Somme on 26-Apr-1918. He was one of the most talented of the composers who lost their lives in the First World War. Travelling on a journey somewhere near Mendelssohn and Bruckner, the music is powerful, beautiful, and full of pathos and emotional intensity.

Thanks to the persistence and research of his daughter Penny Catherine Coles, his manuscripts, some still embedded with shrapnel, have bee painstakingly pieced together helping to create this first commercial recording of these, indeed any of his compositions.
