Mit Havergal Brians Einakter Agamemnon und den Sinfonien Nr. 6 und 12 erweisen Martyn Brabbins und seine Mitwirkenden der English National Opera einem der großen Außenseiter der britischen Musik die Ehre. Alle drei Werke stammen aus der ungemein produktiven Spätphase des Komponisten und zeigen dessen kraftvolle, individuelle Stimme in ihrer wohl konzentriertesten Form. Trotz der extravaganten Orchesterbesetzung sind alle hier vorgestellten Stücke Meisterwerke an Prägnanz, was diese Einspielung
bei HYPERION zu einer wichtigen Ergänzung der Havergal Brian-Diskographie macht.
