BBC Music Award Winner 2011 - premiere recording of the year
Recorded at BBC Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff Bay, 12-14 February 2009
"You can't stop David Matthews writing symphonies (his Seventh has its premiere next month), and please don't try...Jac van Steen and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales give persuasive performances: the Second's journey from innocence to experience is especially thrilling."
(The Times)
"David Matthews's music is full of paradoxes - all of them positive. Its expressive manner and intellectual matter seem easy enough to grasp at first hearing but the openness is deceptive. There's plenty more beneath the surface that awaits discovery...The performances are wonderfully warm and insightful."
(BBC Music)
Tracks:
Symphony no.2 op.17 (1976-79)
