This new album of orchestral works by Errollyn Wallen, performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra under the direction of John Andrews, offers a rich journey through over two decades of the composer's diverse and innovative music.

Wallen, a groundbreaking figure in contemporary classical music, showcases her distinctive voice across a wide range of orchestral moods. From the celebratory ebb and flow of The World's Weather to the evocative imagery in Mighty River, the album explores themes of human resilience and natural forces.

Works like Fondant and This Frame is Part of the Painting reflect Wallen's playful and deeply personal inspirations, whether from cake or art. Other highlights include By Gis and by Saint Charity, with its intense emotional depth, and the virtuosic Dances for Orchestra, which blends styles from jazz to classical. This album is a powerful testament to Wallen's mastery and inventive spirit.
