Powerful Works
Review By jleonard,February 2012

Harold Truscott, like Havergal Brian, was an English composer from a working-class background who was largely self-taught. In the late 1940s he began to make a name for himself from his writings on music, and his compositions. However, he never established a strong reputation because of the prevailing culture of BBC Radio 3, which at that time a favoured modernist works, and his works were never performed.

The works recorded here are powerful and integrated works. If you like Sibelius, Nielsen, Shostakovich or Brian, you will love these works.

Review By Classic CD,
Review By Martin Anderson, Fanfare,November 1995

Gary Brain’s readings are carefully shaped and yet let the music breathe in a completely natural way—and what music: the symphony and the Elegy both touch greatness. © 1995 Fanfare Read complete review on Fanfare
Review By Michel Fleury, Diapason,March 1995

Gary Brain possede visiblement une predisposition pour des oeuvres granitiques et monumentales telles que celle-ci
