Panufnik Legacies

LSO Live's the Panufnik Legacies offers a collection of new works by ten emerging young composers. These pieces were commissioned as part of the LSO Panufnik Scheme, which began in 2005 and each year offers six composers the opportunity to write a three minute piece for the London Symphony Orchestra under the guidance of renowned composer Colin Matthews. The scheme was devised by the orchestra in association with Lady Panufnik in memory of her late husband, the composer Sir Andrzej Panufnik. This recording showcases the works of selected composers from across the first five years of the scheme. Fran?ois-Xavier Roth leads the orchestra in music by Andrew McCormack, Christian Mason, Charlie Piper Flotan, Eloise Gynn Sakura, Edward Nesbit, Jason Yarde, Martin Suckling, Christopher Mayo, Elizabeth Winters and Vlad Maistorovici.
