Boyce: Symphonies - London Festival Orchestra, Pople

William Boyce
Symphonies
London Festival Orchestra, Ross Pople
Arte Nova Classics ANO 340320

"Ross Pople's performances confirm that he senses an ongoing revelation." -- Gramophone

William Boyce (1711-1779) was one of the earliest composers to popularize the symphony, and his seven short works continue to delight to the present day. In 1980 Ross Pople founded the London Festival Orchestra, whose numerous recordings for Hyperion and ASV have attracted positive reviews, and he has been seen often on the BBC. The repertoire of the London Festival Orchestra embraces the very widest range--from the eclectic and contemporary to the classical and baroque, from Boccherini and Bach, to Tippett and Tavener. The excellence of the LFO's playing is reflected in the outstanding reviews its recordings have universally received.
