About

‘The process of writing any piece of music really is one of discovery and the feeling I always have is that what I’m setting myself to write already exists and that what I have to do is unveil it, discover it’. This characterisation by Daniel Jones of the creative process as one of exploration and excavation seems appropriate for a composer whose scores have a powerful sense of rightness and inevitability. His lifelong dedication to music meant that he was unwilling to compromise by diluting it with other work, such as teaching. When he was mischievously accused of never having had a proper job, his response was to tap his manuscript and reply, ‘This is a proper job’.

Reviews

“… both of these recordings were prepared for radio broadcast in 1990, but the sound is actually quite good for the time. It is dry, but detailed, the orchestra is well balanced, and there is little or no constriction of a generous dynamic range. The notes by Paul Conway are excellent… Jones is an original voice whose music deserves the attention being belatedly granted it by this series of release.”

“… I hope this series of Lyrita releases are serving their purpose in bringing Daniel Jones’ symphonies to the wider audience they deserve. Those who are collecting these CDs can add this latest one to their shopping list with confidence. I do hope Lyrita will be able to issue the final instalment in the series before long.”

"The music of Daniel Jones has not enjoyed much currency on disc, but this welcome Lyrita issue may change that..."
