This 2-disc Ancora reissue brings together Alexander Baillie's impassioned recording of Matthews' Cello Concerto No.1, the expnsive Landscape, and four works commissioned by the LSO - including the riotous Machines & Dreams, an updated 'toy symphony' which includes bird calls, football rattles and video-game sound effects.
Recordings originally released on Collins Classics and Unicorn-Kanchana.
Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.

"This set offers a rounded portrait of a restlessly questing composer … big architectonic pieces in performances of impressive might under Carewe."The Sunday Times 2004
