This album brings together Andrzej Panufnik’s late London works, music shaped by a rigorous search for formal clarity and expressive balance. Symphony No. 10, his final symphony, exemplifies the composer’s use of geometric principles, unfolding in a continuous span whose restraint gives it cumulative weight.

The Violin and Cello Concertos, written for Yehudi Menuhin and Mstislav Rostropovich respectively, avoid overt display, favouring lucid textures and a direct, vocal approach to solo writing. Love Song, heard in its instrumental arrangement for solo cello, harp and strings, closes the programme with characteristic economy and poise.

John Mills (violin) and Božidar Vukotić (cello) are partnered by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Alexander Walker.
