Sebastian Comberti - Fribbins: Cello Concerto; Gommecourt; Folk Songs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

An album of new orchestral works by Peter Fribbins. 'Gommecourt', a four-movement symphony with obbligato piano, traces the dramatic story of his grandfather, Tom Fribbins, at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. It is paired with the passionate, and at times wild, 'Cello Concerto', and the beautiful melodic lines of his 'Folk Songs' for viola and chamber orchestra. Album Tracks 1.
