This landmark recording is the first album devoted entirely to the music of Avril Coleridge-Taylor (1903-1998). A composer, conductor, pianist and singer of remarkable versatility, she long remained in the shadow of her father, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Here, at last, her artistry takes centre stage. Featuring world-premiere recordings of some of her most significant orchestral works, the album reveals a distinctive musical voice - eloquent, assured, and deeply personal. Together, these performances stand as a powerful testament to her creativity and resilience, illuminating the experiences of a woman of colour in twentieth-century Britain.
