Parry’s Prometheus Unbound, released on Chandos Records in September 2023, has received a host of accolades and awards in the ensuing few months.
Recording of the Month
“… Sarah Connolly fulfils all expectations in an Erda-like arioso to cap the first part … David Butt Philip brings ringing heroism to Jupiter on his throne. Neal Davies’s bass is broader than in former years, and all the better suited to the kind of Wotan-size declamation demanded of him here…”
Peter Quantrill – Gramophone magazine – October 2023
Classical Album of the Week
“…Remarkably, William Vann’s recording is the first [Prometheus] and, thanks to uniformly superb performances, he makes a strong case for it…” ****
“..The performers bring enthusiasm and telling insights to Parry’s colourful score and remind us that this work merits its accolades as one of the first significant scores of modern British music.”
“… An auspicious Promethean ‘first”.
