The Australian composer Malcolm Williamson, Master of the Queens Music from 1975 until his death in 2003, was widely neglected before Chandos started this series, dedicated to his orchestral works, with Rumon Gamba and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. The composers style is wide-ranging but strongly communicative, and this CD contains fine examples of his approachable output. Gamba is the musical director of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and their collaboration with Chandos has been enthusiastically received. On Chandos Gamba is especially famous for his film music series, which has championed much British music.
