"Even against formidable competition, Martyn Brabbins impresses handsomely.....it's all beautifully judged." – BBC Music Magazine (Symphonies 6 & 8, CDA68396)
"The latest instalment in Martyn Brabbins's RVW symphonic cycle for Hyperion brings as dedicated, articulate and lucid a reading of the great and glorious Fifth as one could hope for." – Gramophone (Symphony no.5 & Scenes from Pilgrim's Progress, CDA68325)
Reviews
They are undeniably beautifully played and that virtuosity is signalled by the overwhelming first climax in the Prelude of the Seventh. […] Brabbins drives this music hard; he clearly sees this as a musical quest for some slim shard of sunlight to penetrate the prevailing dark, brooding storm clouds.
Brabbins […] strives for a bold balance [Sinfonia antartica]: cohesion, yes, but with each musical ‘scene’ given the time and loving attention it needs. […] The result is music which […] creates vivid pictures but within the context of a compelling, ultimately moving macro-narrative.
both of these recordings are highly successful, with the sound for Sinfonia antartica a singular achievement – even now, recalling the opening of ‘Landscape’ sends a tingle down my spine.Error on this page? Let us know here
