Wordsworth: Orchestral Music, Vol. 4 Liga Baltabola, Liepaja Symphony Orchestra, John Gibbons

The music of William Wordsworth (1908–88) lies downstream from that of Vaughan Williams and Sibelius; like that of his contemporary Edmund Rubbra, Wordsworth’s music unfolds spontaneously, as a natural process. This fourth volume of his orchestral works presents four works which are all symphonic studies in essence, each remarkable for its unassertive strength of purpose. (Toccata)
