English Rhapsody, Butterworth, Delius, Grainger

‘The opening of A Shropshire Lad is to die for! I could almost smell an older, simpler English countryside ...’ Classic FM Magazine ‘The Hallé was born to play this music and Mark Elder draws out all the colour in Butterworth’s orchestration.’ BBC Music Magazine

“Exquisite in its own right, knowledge of Butterworth’s fate simply adds to its extraordinarily haunting power.” August 2012- BBC Music Magazine
