Description
Following the success of Arthur Butterworth's recording for Dutton Epoch (CDLX 7212) of his Fourth Symphony and Viola Concerto with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, we are delighted to announce the composer's gripping direction of the RSNO in his Fifth Symphony. This work is coupled with five of his shorter orchestral works - Three Nocturnes, Coruscations, The Quiet Tarn, The Green Wind and Gigues - music written over an almost fifty-year span. Butterworth is the musical poet of the north, and as the English Sibelius he occupies a special place in the repertoire. The shorter pieces are very varied in their sound-world. From the bleak grandeur of the Nocturnes to the coruscating Gigues and the warmth of The Green Wind, this is music in which the RSNO respond eloquently to the composer's direction. World premiere recordings. Track listing: Symphony No.5, Op.115 (2001-02), Three Nocturnes: 'Northern Summer Nights', Op.18 (1958), The Quiet Tarn, Op.21 (1960), The Green Wind, Op.22 (1960), Coruscations, Op.127 (2007), Gigues, Op.42 (1969)
