Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, David Atherton - Hugh Wood: Violin Concerto, Cello Concerto

Hugh Wood's Cello Concerto, concentrated into a single movement, is full of vigorous and dramatic orchestral writing; the ethereal Violin Concerto, performed by its dedicatee, is in three movements, centring upon the mercurial scherzo.'[The concertos] still sound fresh a quarter of a century later ... this is powerful music, beautifully performed.'
