On paper, the exciting draws on this album are the newly-assembled ballet suite and the orchestrated song-cycle - both world premieres and both brilliantly presented by Gardner and the LPO. And yes, I loved them both. But when nobody’s looking I’ll admit that honestly it was the Sinfonia da Requiem that really knocked me for six. Gardner and his orchestra lean into the fatalistic gloom of the first movement, culminating in an oppressive and exhausted climax.
