Awards and reviews

October 2007

Despite occasional echoes of Messiaen and Copland, this is music of obstinate and individuality. Rumon Gamba maintains the devoted advocacy he demonstrated in volume 1, and his Iceland Symphony Orchestra - recorded this time with a better sense of space and perspective - copes manfully with Williamson's often tricky orchestral writing.
