Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
InstrumentalThe symphony’s shifting cityscape and fading finale make a strong central statement; the Tallis pairing extends its English string sonority without forming a strict sequence.
What we noticed
- The four symphony movements move from a broad, restless opening through a slow movement and quick scherzo to a finale whose march builds before the music recedes.
- The Tallis Fantasia follows the symphony as a separate work, shifting from full orchestral forces to the more spacious, contrapuntal writing for strings.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
