Howard – The Butterfly Effect
Rachmaninov – Piano Concerto no. 1
Shostakovich – Symphony no. 10

Dani Howard writes "bold, exuberant music that manages to be at once complex and likeable" (Financial Times). The Butterfly Effect explores in music the idea that a small event in one place can have dramatic consequences in another.

Rachmaninov's concerto is an attractive, rhapsodic work, full of youthful vigour. The composer revised and improved it in later life without sacrificing its essential freshness.

The Tenth is perhaps Shostakovich's finest symphony – an epic journey, powerful and dramatic, yet with moments of touching simplicity. The first three movements, filled with a sense of struggle and including a menacing, whirlwind scherzo, are balanced by a more optimistic finale completed after the death of Stalin.
