Jill Gomez, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, John Carewe, East Of England Sinfonia, Malcolm Nabarro - David Matthews: Cantiga, Symphony No.4

Cantiga sets the tragic, bloodthirsty story of the 14th-century Spanish noblewoman In�s de Castro; Matthews Symphony No.4 subverts its classical model with plainsong and a tango.'Beautiful, individual things in all four pieces ... Matthews is at his best when he's most unashamedly Romantic' BBC Music Magazine'the music on this disc is greatly rewarding and highly recommended.' Gramophone
