The Symphony No. 7 and Symphony No. 8 featured on this album are the final two of four symphonies written during the COVID-19 lockdown. Conceived as a contrasting pair, both reveal the influence of Sibelius's works. They also incorporate elements of minimalism, with a vast soundscape emerging from a limited number of repeated phrases, influenced by the relentless development of motifs in the works of Swedish symphonic composer Allan Pettersson. The performances are conducted by Andrew Manze, Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra since 2018.Drawing an intimate and fresh sound from the orchestra.
