Listen: Contrasts - A Concerto for Orchestra (1st Movement) - excerpt 1

Contrasts was originally commissioned by the National Centre for Orchestral Studies and was first performed by their symphony orchestra conducted by Adrian Leaper (under the title of Greenwich Dances) in May 1983. A revised version was given its premiere by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in the Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, in January 1989. The final revision took place (now under its present title) specially for the recording on the Classico label by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, in 2002.
