About

Following the celebrated releases of Gunning’s Symphonies Nos. 2, 10 & 12 in 2019 and his concertos for Violin and Cello with the piece ‘Birdflight’ in 2020, Signum presents the recording of Symphonies Nos. 6 & 7 as well as his piece ‘Night Voyage’, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Linked by the theme of journeying, Symphonies 6 & 7 explore Gunning’s fascination with a single movement form broken into several sub-sections. The piece ‘Night Voyage’ is a sea piece born on a rainy evening whilst the composer was standing on the edge of the Mersey river.

Four-time BAFTA winning composer Christopher Gunning has composed twelve symphonies as well as concertos for the piano, violin, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone and guitar.

“Gunning’s [...] symphonies, numerous concertos and sundry orchestral pieces are as meticulously wrought as they are powerfully conceived.” - Richard Whitehouse, Gramophone

September/October 2021

The Royal PO plays beautifully for the composer, and the performances maintain ample tension and momentum. All of the works on this disc make for an engaging and enjoyable listening experience. I have no doubt they would hold their own in an orchestral concert program. Recommended for those seeking contemporary orchestral works that are both accomplished, and accessible to a relatively wide audience.
