Christopher Gunning Concertos - Enjoyable and Engaging
A fine addition to Signum's ongoing series of Gunning recordings. Christopher Gunning is an important film composer. These releases show him equally at home in the concert hall.
Gunning Symphony and String Quartet make an interesting pairing
Both works show Gunning's growth as a composer. And they show his willingness to challenge himself.
Christopher Gunning Concertos deliver
The composer leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in these performances. To me, it seemed as if Gunning was talking directly to me through the soloists and the ensemble. And I liked what he was saying.
Gunning symphonies well-crafted modernism
Kenneth Woods leads the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in some superb performances. Woods has a clear artistic vision of how these symphonies should unfold.
