The music of William Wordsworth (1908–88) – a great-great-grandson of the poet’s brother Christopher – lies downstream from that of Vaughan Williams and Sibelius; like that of his contemporary Edmund Rubbra, Wordsworth’s music unfolds spontaneously, as a natural process.

Volume One includes premiere recordings of Symphony No. 8 (with alternative endings), the Variations on a Scottish Theme and Divertimento in D as well as the Fourth Symphony
