Munich Symphony Orchestra / Bostock,Douglas Arthur Butterworth Symphony No.1/Ruth Gipps Sym. CD

a truly desirable project with the orchestra and recording team getting well into their stride in this cracker.(MusicWeb) [Gipps] "thoroughly likeable creation... The spirit of RVW hovers benignly, and well worth getting to know, especially when given with such vigour and obvious affection" [Butterworth] "Manchester-born... Symphony was first heard under Barbirolli, though it's origins trace back to Sibelius's Sixth... copious allusions to the Finnish master... powerfully evocative of the North, strongly argued and confidently scored... a most enterprising pairing" (Gramophone)
