About

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 Until now these works have rarely been performed, and the majority of works are unpublished and only exist in manuscript form.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

Critic reviews

  • “The performances aren’t simply good; they’re played with such security that you’d think it was standard rep.”

    American Record Guide, American record guide critics’ choice 2024, January 2025

  • “This is the first all-Howell orchestral CD and everything here is pleasing. The tone poem Lamia is there in a completely beguiling starring role.”

    MusicWeb International, Nominee for recording of the year, December 2024
