"Simon’s arr of Mahler’s 9th Symph is a…formidable achievement, no doubt about it, though the reason it works so well is due to two key aspects of the work, both of which Woods & the @EnglishSymphony brought to the fore in their revelatory performance…"

Some of our most treasured members of the orchestra alongside our conductor and a couple of our great friends in a programme that is our idea of chamber music heaven. Don't miss it! 25 Jan!

So looking forward to joining some of my fave colleagues from the @EnglishSymphony this Sunday at the @LCMSconcerts series at St John's Waterloo. Mozart, Strauss and Brahms. Delicious! Join us!

I'm so excited this is finally available!
My goodness gracious - the orchestra played with such demonic intensity, it's a wonder I didn't run away in terror. Check it out!

The life and music of Sibelius, who passed away on this day in 1957, has been on our minds all week. We were so excited to open our 2025-6 Season in Cheltenham Town Hall on Friday with his mysterious and moving 4th Symphony.

[English Symphony Orchestra @EnglishSymphony]

And we've been thrilled by the response to the first volume in our cycle of Sibelius Symphonies on ESO Records, which you buy on CD or stream via the link below.
