Editorial Reviews
Album Description
"William Boughton’s...hand-picked players are very good players indeed, lovely in sound and terrific in ensemble. Nimbus provides lush, sweet sonics."-FANFARE

Quintessential English repertoire from one of Britain’s most popular orchestras, including the world premiere recording of Parry’s Symphony No.1 in G (he wrote four symphonies in all). The tone poem From Death to Life is a much later work. This release follows the highly successful Nimbus releases by the English Symphony Orchestra of works by Butterworth, Bridge and Finzi. Long neglected, the music of Sir Hubert Parry (1948-1918) has become more and more popular in recent years.
