Adam Gorb is best known for his award-winning music for symphonic wind ensemble, and this recording features Towards Nirvana - a reflection on the life and teachings of Buddha - as well as the exuberant Scenes from Bruegel, illuminating the painter's depictions of human folly. The recording is completed with Ascent - inspired by Cézanne’s almost Cubist paintings of Mont Sainte-Victoire - and Farewell.
All these works are recorded by the the Royal Northern College's acclaimed Wind Orchestra, conducted by Clark Rundell, Timothy Reynish and Mark Heron.
RNCM Wind Ensemble:
The Royal Northern College of Music Wind Orchestra is recognised as one of the leading conservatoire ensembles in the world: through a unique series of concerts, commissions, broadcasts and professional recordings, the RNCM Wind Orchestra has transformed the repertoire and performance standards of wind ensemble music in the UK. The RNCM Wind Orchestra was the first conservatoire ensemble to be invited to perform at the BBC Proms, and has also performed at Festivals such as Aldeburgh, Cheltenham, Huddersfield, Spitalfields, and the Three Choirs, as well as festivals in Holland, Japan, Switzerland and Poland. In 2000 the RNCM was awarded a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher Education for its outstanding and pioneering work with the Wind Orchestra.
