Symphony 3, Symphony 4, Concerto for Oboe and String Orchestra

Symphony no 3 was composed in 2005, during a very turbulent year for the composer. Symphony no 4, composed in 2007, is more direct and tonal – an expression of triumph over adversity. The Oboe Concerto was composed as a Christmas present for Christopher’s daughter Verity, who performs it here with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

This is the first disc of an ongoing series of music by Christopher Gunning on the CHANDOS label.
