Jill Gomez, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, John Carewe - David Matthews: Ancora
Cantiga sets the tragic, bloodthirsty story of the 14th-century Spanish noblewoman Inês de Castro; Matthews Symphony No.4 subverts its classical model with plainsong and a tango.
These recordings were originally released on Unicorn-Kanchana in 1993. Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.
"Beautiful, individual things in all four pieces... Matthews is at his best when he's most unashamedly Romantic."
BBC Music Magazine 2003
