A splendid orchestral portrait of a composer who should be far better appreciated in his homeland.

7th July 2019

Carpenter’s open-minded, high-energy music has no borders. Iain Ballamy makes light work of his jazzy Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra, and mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge is the eloquent soloist in Love’s Eternity.
