Arthur Butterworth:
Symphony No. 1, Op. 15

Ruth Gipps:
Symphony No. 2, Op. 30

Malcolm Arnold:
Concerto for Organ & Orchestra, Op. 47

“a truly desirable project with the orchestra and recording team getting well into their stride in this cracker.”(MusicWeb) [Gipps] “thoroughly likeable creation ... the spirit of RVW hovers benignly, and well worth getting to know, especially when given with such vigour and obvious affection” [Butterworth] “Manchester-born ... Symphony was first heard under Barbirolli, though its origins trace back to Sibelius’s Sixth ... copious allusions to the Finnish master ... powerfully evocative of the North, strongly argued and confidently scored ... a most enterprising pairing” (Gramophone)
