About
Heritage presents a new recording of the orchestral works of Peter Dickinson, expertly played by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and conducted by the contemporary music specialist, Clark Rundell. Through these performances, we see a different and altogether lighter side of Dickinson’s creativity. All of the works presented here are very accessible and place melody at the forefront of the compositional process. With the exception of 'Merseyside Echoes', the works, in their orchestral versions, appear on disc for the first time.

[throughout] there is an evident joy in subverting a music’s original purpose through stylistic juxtapositions and Dickinson’s piquant orchestration. The BBC NOW barely put a foot wrong. It’s wonderful at last to have top-quality premiere recordings of these eight works that have waited far too long to appear on record
March 2016
This is an essential CD for all admirers of Dickinson’s eclectic style of composition in particular, and for approachable, sometimes challenging, but always enjoyable ‘modern’ music, in general
