BBC Symphony Orchestra/ Mark Wigglesworth, conductor - Howard Skempton: Lento
Lento is music of extraordinary directness and simplicity. It is an enigmatic and hypnotic work within which shifting modal chords progress through the orchestra to create a chorale-like, almost architectural form beneath a calm melodic surface; now something of a cult piece, it is NMC's most consistently-selling recording since its release in 1990.
Reviews
"Lento, by the British miniaturist Howard Skempton, must surely be heading for cult status… it is captivating in its simple wistfulness."
BBC Music Magazine Pick of 1992
