[Machine Translation] This is a collection of works by Stuart Hancock, a contemporary composer active in film and television drama music. His brilliant orchestrations and exciting style have attracted fans from all over the world. The album opens with "Variations on a Heroic Theme," a tribute to Hancock's love of Hollywood movies, and continues with "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" and "RAPTURES," a suite for orchestra that is the title of the album. RAPTURES" was originally conceived as a string quartet, but was expanded into an orchestral version for this recording, transforming it into a magnificent work with rich tone and splendor. It is conducted by Levon Parikian. He studied with George Hurst and Ilia Mushin. He is currently the Principal Conductor of the City of Oxford Orchestra, and also makes guest appearances with major British orchestras and teaches at the Royal College of Music in London and other youth orchestras around the country.
