Recent Highlights
Violinist Alda Dizdari with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Alexander Walker, presents two major works by Robin Holloway in this focused and thoughtful recording. The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, completed in 1990, is shaped around a sequence of ‘Windows’ inspired by poets Rainer Maria Rilke and John Ashbery. This album offers a clear view into Holloway’s musical language and the strong collaboration behind its performance.
This landmark recording is the first album devoted entirely to the music of Avril Coleridge-Taylor (1903–1998). A composer, conductor, pianist and singer of remarkable versatility, she long remained in the shadow of her father, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Here, at last, her artistry takes centre stage. Featuring world-premiere recordings of some of her most significant orchestral works, the album reveals a distinctive musical voice – eloquent, assured, and deeply personal. Together, these performances stand as a powerful testament to her creativity and resilience, illuminating the experiences of a woman of colour in twentieth-century Britain.
Commemorating the quatercentenary of Chapel Royal composer Orlando Gibbons’s death in 1625, The Choir of HM Chapel Royal, Hampton Court and The English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble join forces to present a programme that surveys the wide range of Gibbons’s output. Featuring the entire Second Service, plus verse & full anthems alongside hymns, fantasias and dance tunes, this recording celebrates not only the composer’s legacy but also the continuing historical unity in performance of voices and instruments at the Chapel Royal over several hundred years.
