This new release features the seventh symphony of composer Hans Werner Henze (1926-2012). Evident in this composition is Henze's flirtation with the classical-romantic tradition. He once said of this piece, "Number 7 of my orchestral pieces is the one that comes closest to the model of the classical symphony." The Seventh Symphony is joined on this release by two of Henze's smaller works, L'heure bleue, and 7 Boleros.
