BBC Music Magazine October 2007 “Despite occasional echoes of Messiaen and Copland, this is music of obstinate and individuality. Rumon Gamba maintains the devoted advocacy he demonstrated in volume 1, and his Iceland Symphony Orchestra – recorded this time with a better sense of space and perspective – copes manfully with Williamson’s often tricky orchestral writing. – 4 out of 5 stars FonoForum 07/07: “Williamson was evidently a deeply religious man, underlay his first symphony with a motto from the From the 24th Psalm to his first symphony and was inspired by the life of Life of St. Bernadette Soubirous The latter work in particular impresses with its visionary Visionary sound effects and an undisguised spirituality despite the undisguised spirituality.” |
