Dedicated to the memory of Lady Evelyn Barbirolli, widow of Sir John Barbirolli, a noted oboist, and Honorary Fellow of Trinity College of Music, this disc brings together three of Alan Hovhaness's most fascinating scores.

His Symphony No. 7 'Nanga Parvat' depicts the sublime topography and tiger-like ferocity of that majestic Kashmiri mountain.

Hovhaness was inspired, in his own words, by the 'wild fierceness of volcanic earthquakes and avalanche-shaken mountains' when composing his Symphony No. 14 'Ararat', while the bells of the thousand and one cathedrals of the ruined Armenian city Ani resound in the Symphony No. 23.

Tracks:

Symphony No. 7 'Nanga Parvat', Op. 178
Symphony No. 14 'Ararat', Op. 194
Symphony No. 23 'Ani', Op. 249
