BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Martyn Brabbins

Pickard: Symphony No. 5
Pickard: Sixteen Sunrises
Pickard: Concertante Variations (Presteigne Concerto)
Pickard: Toccata (after C. Monteverdi)

"The music fair kidnaps the listener's attention at the outset and does not random it until the gripping, wholly satisfying close...The performance by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales is stunning in its virtuosity (especially the three timpanists) and Brabbins shapes the whole edifice grippingly, as in the couplings." - Gramophone Magazine Awards Issue 2017
