Queensland Symphony Orchestra - Benjamin Frankel Edition [CD]

Benjamin Frankel is among those 20th-century British composers whose true standing remains to be rediscovered today. This edition offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre: it brings together Symphonies Nos. 1-8, major concertos, orchestral works, chamber music, and pivotal film scores, including the complete recording of The Battle of the Bulge. Frankel's music combines structural clarity with expressive power, incisive rhythm, and a distinct sensitivity to tonal colors. Alongside the moving violin concerto In Memory of the Six Million and the five string quartets, his stage and film scores demonstrate the versatility of a composer who developed an unmistakable voice bridging the concert hall and the silver screen. This box set invites listeners to rediscover Benjamin Frankel as a striking voice of musical modernism.
