  • Description

    Matthews's The Great Journey, a forceful and panoramic narrative of a 16th-century Spanish expedition to America, is complemented by the scherzo Fuga and Night's Mask, a darkly atmospheric setting of Fernando Pessoa's brooding sonnet.

    'A fizzing display of musical energy for which its composer is renowned ... baritone David Wilson-Johnson and the Nash Ensemble acquit themselves superbly' - BBC Music Magazine
