LEGENDARY PERFORMANCES ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME! From the 1950s on, Lennox Berkeley became established as one of the leading British composers of the generation of Walton and Tippett. This first recording of Lennox Berkeley's Symphony No. 1 was a landmark when it was released in 1975 since there were very few recordings of the composer's major works. This symphony was completed in 1941. Berkeley's Symphony No. 2 was commissioned for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. The first performance was in 1959. After that, both symphonies became neglected, especially the more elusive No. 2, which Berkeley revised during the 1970s. This version was used for this recording released in 1978.
