Conductor

• David Lloyd-Jones

Ensemble

• Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Composer

• Alan Rawsthorne (1905 - 1971)

Remarks:

David Lloyd-Jones and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra are completely at home in Rawsthorne's repertoire, and in 'Practical Cats' renowned English actor Simon Callow brings a wonderful life and character to T. S. Eliot's familiar words set to Rawsthorne's ever-inventive music. In contrast, baritone Jeremy Huw Williams presents the first recording of the darkly brooding 'Medieval Diptych', by turns hauntingly atmospheric and dramatic. This nicely balanced program, recorded in the sympathetic acoustic of the Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, also features the ebulliently witty overture 'Street Corner', the exotic suite from the ballet 'Madame Chrysantheme', and two more world premiere recordings.
