"The sound is open and detailed, a perfect complement to the conductor’s approach. Given the high technical standards and almost 30 minutes of unfamiliar or newly recorded music, Alwyn admirers will have no problem justifying the purchase ..."
- Fanfare
"... attractive and colourful music ... in all its diversity and passion, appears to have an unstoppable momentum under the committed baton of David Lloyd-Jones ... this highly entertaining and gripping recording, crisply executed by the RLPO, has an energy, drive and polish ..."
- Gramophone
There are several descriptive scores in William Alwyn’s prolific output, including The Moor of Venice which examines the turbulent central character in Shakespeare’s Othello. The Serenade and the orchestral version of Seven Irish Tunes receive premiere recordings here, both covering a wide range of moods. Following his acclaimed recording of the Concerto Grosso No. 1, David Lloyd-Jones here completes the set, the second of which is scored for strings and concluding with the Concerto Grosso No. 3, a tribute to Sir Henry Wood.
