Martyn Brabbins

Following up his previous Dutton Epoch CD devoted to Havergal Brian’s music (CDLX7267), Martyn Brabbins now turns his attention to a very varied second programme of Brian’s music in which Lorraine McAslan is the commanding soloist in Brian’s Violin Concerto. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra powerfully articulate the eloquent Thirteenth Symphony, and a revelatory recording of the Fourth English Suite unlocks this series of charming miniatures in Brian’s most approachable style from the early 1920s. The programme is completed by the scampering, tuneful, short overture The Tinker’s Wedding.
