Thomas Pitfield Orchestral Music - Toccata Classics

[4candles]

I'm not wholly sure if Pitfield falls within UC's remit, but on the evidence of hearing some of his music lately, I'll suggest that some members may be interested in this forthcoming recording on Toccata Classics. I see the Concerto lirico has been previously recorded, but the other works?

THOMAS PITFIELD: ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
Sinfonietta;

[Alan Howe]

I'd say Pitfield's music was tonal and lyrical, but not really romantic. Here's the Concerto Lirico, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR9Cccd_MNk
