The Manchester Camerata led by John Andrews present a program spotlighting four distinct 20th century British composers — Ruth Gipps, Doreen Carwithen, William Alwyn, and Elizabeth Maconchy — whose works chart an alternative path through an era often confined to either pastoral lyricism or modernist edginess. Featuring soloists Alex Mitchell (viola), Alexandra Dariescu (piano), and Rachel Clegg (cor anglais), these performances illuminate music of remarkable individuality and emotional range. Fram Gipps’s folk-inflected fantasy Jane Grey and Carwithen’s long-neglected Piano Concerto to Alywn’s Autumn Legend and the searching power of Maconchy’s Life Story, this album reveals a British musical landscape far richer and more adventurous than history has long suggested.
