Recordings
Many of our concerts since May 2001 have been recorded by
Dunelm Records and the CDs, which are produced and packaged to a
professional standard, are available to
order direct from our website.
This singular Fifth Symphony is worth hearing... There is undoubtedly
real intensity throughout; tremolos and crescendos can be truly
electrifying, lower strings give us the definitive clod-hopping article
at the beginning of the scherzo and the brass, capped by a powerful
first trumpeter, could at times be Svetlanov's boys. Many a more
sophisticated middle-of-the-roader has conveyed less of the Symphony's
gritty spirit than this.

Symphony.
This account conveys the symphony's tragic desperation much more
tellingly than most 'professional' recordings to have appeared over the
last two decades...part of an ongoing project that, live and on disc,
clearly deserves support.
