Although Bliss remains a far less distinctive musical figure than Britten, Walton or Tippett, his best work hardly deserves to languish in comparative obscurity. Chandos’s generous compilation is an ideal introduction to his music, with the Colour Symphony, in particular, offering an attractive mixture of Elgarian warmth and Stravinskian rhythmic dynamism. The Ulster Orchestra is outstanding and, as ever, Chandos’s engineering produces a luxurious sound, highlighting the brilliance and richness of Blissorchestration.

Raphael (laly) Wallfisch (born 15 June 1953, London) is an English cellist. Wallfisch was born into a family of distinguished musicians; his father was the pianist Peter Wallfisch and his mother is the cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, one of the last known surviving members of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. He studied under teachers including Amaryllis Fleming, Derek Simpson and Gregor Piatigorsky, among others.
