VIOLIN CONCERTO

We are hugely proud to announce that the Chandos release of Adrian's major orchestral works, including his recently-premiered Violin Concerto, HAS WON the BBC Music Magazine's 2025 Premiere award!

"..soaring, searing, passionately lyrical writing ..a great showcase for a remarkable talent, and living proof that serious, substantial music of the tonal and melodic variety can still (_mirabile dictu_) be found in an original and individual voice." — Jeremy Nicholas, Gramophone Magazine
