Symphony no.3; Concerto festivo (2001)

"Best of all, however, is the Third Symphony (1956‑57), an immaculately crafted four-movement essay in the form with not one wasted note throughout its 18-minute duration, and (once again) boasting a slow movement of genuinely touching eloquence. Its a captivating score which Ive already replayed a number of times and surely merits programming as a refreshing alternative to, say, Prokofievs indestructible Classical Symphony, whose elegant demeanour and freewheeling spirit it perhaps most closely resembles."
