A frequent collaborator with both the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Jac van Steen, David Matthews' recording explores both the natural world and the symphonic idea, the second of which has, in his words, 'obsessed me since I started composing at the age of 16'. As well as the 'Sinfonia' and 'Symphony No. 8', the programme includes 'Toward Sunrise'; inspired by the sound of the sun (a rising fourth of C-F), as recorded by scientists at Sheffield University and 'A Vision of the Sea'; drawn from the sights and sounds of the English Channel near the composer's home in Deal, Kent.
