Featuring 4 works receiving their world premiere recording, Signum Classics are proud to annouce the new album ‘Dorothy Howell: Orchestral Works’ conducted by Rebecca Miller with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Until now these works have rarely been performed, and the majority of works are unpublished and only exist in manuscript form. “I hope this album can help to revive Dorothy’s music, to help her live on, to finally have the recognition she deserved and never received, and to secure this music’s rightful place in the centre of the classical music repertoire” – Rebecca Miller
“Rebecca Miller proves a sure hand directing the well-drilled BBC Concert Orchestra with flair and imagination. The recording is commendably detailed without being in any way anaemic.” – MusicWebInternational
★★★★ “Sweet yet never saccharine, they brim with warmth. Rebecca Miller conducts buoyant performances that show off Howell’s quicksilver gifts.” – The Guardian
Performance ★★★★ “All of these pieces, crisply dispatched by Rebecca Miller and the BBC Concert Orchestra, offer rewarding listening – and serve as an important reminder of a British composer who should never have vanished from sight.” – BBC Music Magazine
