Following the celebrated releases of Gunning’s Symphonies nos. 2, 10 and 12 in 2019 and his concertos for Violin and Cello with the piece Birdflight in 2020, Signum presents the recording of Symphonies nos. 6 and 7 as well as his piece Night Voyage, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Linked by the theme of journeying, Symphonies 6 and 7 explore Gunning’s fascination with a single-movement form broken into several sub-sections. The piece Night Voyage is a sea piece born on a rainy evening whilst the composer was standing on the edge of the Mersey river.

Four-time BAFTA winning composer Christopher Gunning has composed twelve symphonies as well as concertos for the piano, violin, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone and guitar.

“Gunning’s [...] symphonies, numerous concertos and sundry orchestral pieces are as meticulously wrought as they are powerfully conceived.” – Richard Whitehouse, Gramophone
