Rumon Gamba directs the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for this third instalment of his exploration of overtures from the British Isles. As in the case of the previous volumes, the recorded repertoire is rarely played, and the album includes three world premiere recordings: Daniel Jones’s Comedy Overture, Robin Orr’s The Prospect of Whitby, and Alan Bush’s Resolution. Other composers include Havergal Brian, Geoffrey Bush, Alan Rawsthorne, Frank Bridge, Richard Arnell, Benjamin Britten, Clifton Parker, and Eric Fenby. All the works were composed between 1938 and 1949, against the background of the horrific world events of that era. Presenting an eclectic mix of musical styles, the album, like the others in the series, sheds light on numerous neglected gems of the repertoire.
