• BBC National Orchestra of Wales

• Kenneth Leighton (1929 - 1988)

Remarks:

"Superb performances, superbly recorded, but the impact and power of the organ concerto is stunning. This is a wonderful issue on its own terms and also the beginning of a series that should be particularly enriching. One can hear models in Leighton's music; but whatever he inherited he made his own." -ClassicalSource.com
