Product Details

Description

‘25 years ago, I went to music school in Manchester. I’ve followed the Hallé orchestra quite closely since then, so it was a particular thrill to be asked to write a new orchestral work for them to perform at Bridgewater Hall under Sir Mark Elder. The overriding impression I hope the piece will generate is one of momentum, excitement and energy.’ (Huw Watkins)

Cast in two movements, Huw Watkins’ Symphony does not strictly adhere to classical symphonic form. Rather, the composer interprets this great tradition through his development of ideas and use of the orchestra.
