The Albany Symphony Orchestra, Conducted by the composer Recorded in Troy Music Hall, New York State.

This disc is *** recommended by the Penguin Guide to Compact Discs.

Reviews:

It is a marvellous work, in every way at the very least equalling his earlier symphonies; and these are gradually becoming a contribution of the first magnitude. The whole is most beautifully played. Gramophone

A profound, original and well structured work, beautifully recorded by the Albany Symphony Orchestra, displaying a fearsome range of emotions, not unlike the Fourth. It is another long work but gripping in its intensity and beauty. It may turn out to be one of his most performed pieces, because of its depth and originality. Weekend Telegraph
