Judith Weir: The Welcome Arrival of Rain

Judith Weir's major orchestral works. including Natural History, Forest and The Welcome Arrival of Rain

"The sounds she creates are invariably engaging, and the webs of ideas arresting" - The Guardian
"Weir’s characteristic voice is just as recognisable on the larger scale of the orchestra. There’s the same feeling for strong, un-muddy colours and unobtrusive organic growth, the same use of familiar materials in unfamiliar ways to make serious points lightly... The performances, under the ever-reliable Martyn Brabbins, rare excellent, with Ailish Tynan a personable soloist in Natural History. The recordings are clear and bright, like the music itself."
