Barcelona was born with little time difference, two important composers in whose lives, despite having no relationship with each other, we find many commonplaces in their artistic corpus, with a very close aesthetic despite developing very personal styles : Miguel Asins Arbó and Carles Suriñach.

Clearly in the tradition that leads from Carl Nielsen through Robert Simpson, the works here observe Nielsen’s fondness for dignity of expression, the occasional hint of power tempered by an almost Mendelssohnian lightness of touch – and, here and there, a note of levity: the Sixth Symphony, after all, is dedicated to the memory of Sir Malcolm Arnold. The three concertante works are performed here by musicians whose playing Taylor particularly admires.
