Beautiful music from this little noticed Welsh composer. Neoclassicism meets pastoralism. Echoes of Stravinsky, Tippett, Britten. 

No 2 - sounded wonderful this morning. Britten clicked with me instantly all those years ago but it took a lot longer to get inside Tippett's music (in terms of enjoying it and being engaged by it). No. 4 on here is a gem too. 

Extraordinary piece. I'd love to hear this one live.
