Havergal Brian's late creativity is almost unparalleled in musical history - in the last two decades of his life he wrote 25 symphonies. 'No. 7', the last of his truly large-scale symphonies, was inspired by Goethe's autobiographical account of his time as a student in Strasbourg. 'Symphony No. 16' is a tough single-movement work, evoking ancient Greece and the savagery of the Persian wars. In bright contrast 'The Tinker's Wedding' is a sparkling comedy overture based on the play by J.M. Synge.
