Northern Chamber Orchestra
Director Nicholas Ward
(On Rondino - Jonathan Scott, piano)

"...there is an urbane eclectic variety in the selection of pieces on this disc ...the orchestrally clad Walter Carroll miniatures ... the complex music of Manduell's 'Diversions' and the dark modality of John McCabe's 'Dances' ... a Rondino movement ... whose delightfully capricious music is played with the most delicate lilt by the young Jonathan Scott ... Pitfield's richly evocative harmonies ... I imagine that, with the material that may yet be available and unexplored further compilations may appear. If they are of this standard then I eagerly anticipate."
