Martyn Brabbins is at the forefront of contemporary music: well renowned and high profile, he conducted at the opening Night of the Proms 2012.
The three orchestral pieces presented here are a masterclass in orchestral colour and sound. Each piece was composed a decade apart and they give a good overall sense of Pickard's development. Booklet notes are detailed and informative (by the composer).
"This may be one of the most important contemporary orchesral CDs of 2013...Brabbins puts plenty of fire into the Norrköping players in presenting this full-blooded, ferociously positive music. BIS's sonics are first-rate. An absolute triumph." BBC Music Five Stars
"Brabbins directs with undemonstrative mastery and the Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra is suitably uninhibited in its response...That a Swedish orchestra (and record label) should have taken up [this music's] cause in so committed a fashion says much for its intrinsic qualities" (International Record Review)
