| First performance | | 12 March 1996 | Venue | | Barbican Hall, London | Orchestra / Ensemble | | English Chamber Orchestra | Conductor | | Pinchas Zukerman | Review | | Barry Millington, The Times, 11 October 1998 | | | After a slow introduction that spotlights various instruments in turn comes a syncopated aggressively rhythmic allegro, powered by rocketing timpani. A broader final section is launched with a Bergian efflorescence over an E flat bass. But it is F major that finally establishes hegemony, albeit approached by a remarkable harmonic sequence. I look forward to hearing the Sinfonia again…
