READ ABOUT >>> BBC Philharmonic - Rumon Gamba

The reputation of David Matthews has risen steadily over the last few years… among his contemporaries he has few rivals in the creating and sustaining of larger forms. International Record Review

Born in 1943 in London, Matthews was first attracted to the idea of becoming a composer only in his teens, and initially was self-taught. After university, he had formal lessons with Anthony Milner, and worked in Aldeburgh as Benjamin Britten‘s assistant. His music represents a continuation of, rather than a challenge to, the great tradition of British music in the twentieth century placing a strong emphasis on melodic lines and on what has been called ‘a Romantic generosity of expression. At the same time, it is by no means straightforwardly conservative; it speaks in a highly individual voice; and one that is still evolving. The Times wrote recently Matthews is among our most conspicuous symphonists, as well as among our stalwart adherents of tonality. Chandos adds this very-English composer to the bastion of English composers already represented on the label.
