David Bedford : Twelve Hours of Sunset



The haunting and atmospheric title work is accompanied by the celebratory Alleluia Timpanis, Bedford's Symphony No.1, and his Recorder Concerto, with soloist Piers Adams.

"Someone who can combine the shimmering sounds of Sixties texture music with greater consonance than most would dare deserves his place in the sun."
BBC Music Magazine, 1998
