Gordon Crosse and Sir John Manduell have been two senior pillars of the British composing fraternity for many years, and both have written concertos for pairs of instruments with string orchestra – all recorded here for the first time. These are excellently structured works which are modern yet very approachable with beautifully rich string writing. We also now dedicate this album to the memory of Sir John who passed away in 2018.
