Description on Youtube:
The twelve pieces commissioned jointly by Classic FM and PRS Foundation while Talbot was Classic FM’s first composer-in-residence. Aptly titled “Once Around the Sun” (to indicate the year’s passage), the twelve mostly-reflective pieces were written, recorded and first played in the month to which they each pertain.
As a bonus, there are three pieces Talbot wrote for his band “Billiardman”, here neatly arranged for the ensemble minus harp featured in “Once Around the Sun”.
