The undoubted success of this release has to be laid at the feet of Alexander Walker, who clearly has the grasp of this remarkably condensed and unique series of works.

Three cheers, then, to (of all people) the New Russia State Symphony Orchestra under Alexander Walker for supplying feisty performances of the English maverick’s Symphonies 22-24 — a dark, dissonant triptych from the mid-1960s.

The Russian players dig into Brian’s idiom as though he were a standard rep composer they’d done all their lives. (...) All the more do I ache for this conductor and these players to take on Brian’s mighty Symphony 3. Despite first-class competition, this record must now take pride of place.
