The latest in Somm’s Beecham Collection includes the premiere of William Alwyn’s Third Symphony at the Royal Festival Hall, in October 1956. This is a powerful and impressive work in three movements, which reinforces Alwyn’s belatedly recognised position as one of the finest English symphonists of the 20th century. The slow movement is of nobly tragic stature.
