Metronome: METCD1076

“Dogs and Wolves avoid with its breathless evocation of the "idyllic quarry", and subtle inference of blues and folk elements perhaps the most engaging British orchestral showpiece this decade. The performances are as expert as one might expect from musicians with whom Hallawell has collaborated extensively over the years, with Pierre-André Valade bringing real clarity to the dense textures of the orchestral pieces.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue
