BBC Philharmonic Orchestra & Rumon Gamba - Overtures from the British Isles, Vol. 3 (2026) [Hi-Res]

Rumon Gamba directs the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra on the third instalment of his exploration of Overtures from the British Isles. As in the case of the previous volumes, the recorded repertoire is rarely played, and the album includes three world premiere recordings. All the works were composed in a period of eleven years, between 1938 and 1949, against the background of the horrific world events of that era. Presenting an eclective mix of musical styles, the album, like its predecessors, sheds light on some wonderful discoveries, passionately and enthusiastically performed by orchestra and conductor.
