Another from the highly-praised Rubbra symphony series!
Richard Hickox conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in another in the highly regarded Rubbra symphony series.
"The Ninth Symphony, arguably Rubbra's greatest work, is an unqualified masterpiece whose eloquence is of the order of Elgar's 'Dream of Gerontius', Britten's 'War Requiem' and Tippett's 'A Child of our time'.
Both works are superbly served here by all these fine musicians, and the Chandos recording is no less magnificent."
