Lloyd's Symphony No.4 is a one-movement orchestral riot, the product of a truly eclectic imagination: the jazz influences of Milhaud and the orchestral palette of Britten temper the rigour of Lloyd's training in the tradition of Webern and Boulanger. |

Madeleine Mitchell's violin recital with reknowned accompanist Andrew Ball ranges from the lyrical minimalism of Michael Nyman's On the Fiddle, and folk-influenced pieces by Stephen Montague and Stuart Jones, to the strongly-crafted Fantasia by Brian Elias, and the extraordinary effects of Nigel Osborne's new solo violin piece, Taw-Raw, which Mitchell premiered at the Huddersfield Festival in 2004.
The CD is supported by the Royal College of Music, the RVW Trust and the American Embassy, London. |

These three works were all commissioned by pianist Philip Mead to play with the Royal Northern College of Music's acclaimed Brass Ensemble: Nicholas Sackman's rigorous and dramatic Meld, and Diana Burrell's Gold - which explores the sonorities of brass and gongs - are coupled with the title work, Geoff Poole's subversive yet jazzy portayal of Man's fall. |
