Francis Chagrin (1905-1972) was a British composer, best known for his many film scores of the 1940s to the early 1960s, one of the many "conservative" post-WWII composers in England who suffered under le terreur of Sir William Glock, the Robespierre of BBC Radio 3, who only supported atonal, "relevant" music. This new NAXOS album is a major release, offering two powerful, very dramatic symphonies. Put simply, if you enjoy Malcolm Arnold's grimmer works and much of William Alwyn's music, then you'll enjoy Chagrin, too. The symphonies are particularly impressive in their slow movements. Fine performances, expert conducting by Martyn Brabbins. A major find!

Nothing this very moment, but ready to play once I'm on my commute home.

Britten - Sinfonia da Reqiuem Op20 - lacrymosa. This part has one of my favourite starts and endings to a piece of classical music. I live it.
