Description
In 2014, Toccata Classics released a first CD of piano music by Edinburgh composer Charles O'Brien (1882-1968). The O'Brien rediscovery continues with his most important work, his only symphony. Powerful and lyrical by turn, O'Brien's Symphony in f (1922), a full-scale Romantic score in the Mendelssohn and Brahms tradition with an Elgarian awareness, is coupled with his Walter Scott-inspired overture Ellangowan, a resplendent work with a big, memorable Scottish tune. Paul Mann is a regular guest-conductor with many orchestras throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, and the Far East.
