Watkins/Rsno/Andrews - Christopher Wright; Nicholas Barton: Orchestral Music

This album brings together the music of two English composers who are also good friends � and both born in East Anglia: Nicholas Barton in Norfolk in 1950 and Christopher Wright in Suffolk in 1954. Moreover, they share a similar musical language: largely tonal, if loosely so, rhythmically alert, transparently but dramatically scored and with a natural feeling for symphonic argument and growth, and a powerful sense of scale.
