Format: CD
Price: $9.98
Description: Apparently a recently-commissioned work, this 19-minute piece, released as that rare genre - a single - is like a symphonic poem in five sections: "Searching", "Restless", "Love Scene", "Stern, Passionate" and "Life Carries On". Rhapsodic, epic and utterly Romantic, its the sort of thing you'd hope Carl Davis would write if he were writing "absolute music". CD single. Jonathan Aasgaard (cello), Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra; Carl Davis.
