In the year of Florence Price's 70th anniversary, Chineke! Orchestra celebrate the composer's legacy with two of her landmark award-winning pieces which led to her major breakthroughs as a composer. Recorded with Jeneba Kanneh-Mason who, almost a century on, continues the legacy of women championing Price's music for present-day audiences with her recording of the work.

"[Kanneh-Mason's] playing is vigorous and authoritative. Price could have no more persuasive an advocate...Chineke! Orchestra's woodwind, especially, shine in these lively performances" The Guardian

'This is music overflowing with an abundance of melody, tinged with sadness and regret, which is crying out to be heard.' Classicalmusic
