Mark Bowden was resident composer with BBC National Orchestra of Wales from 2011 to 2015. Two concertos composed during that time are the most substantial on this first disc of his works. It also contains the score with which Bowden first attracted attention, Sudden Light, which the BBC Symphony Orchestra introduced in 2005. Like the two concertos, that work comes with a package of extra-musical connnections – to Liebniz, prime numbers and a poem by Dante Gabriel Rosetti that provides the title – but its impact is a physical one: the systems Bowden sets up generate climaxes of great power, and his confidence in handling such large orchestral forces is unmistakable.
