| 1. The School for Scandal Overture, Op. 5 |
| 2. Symphony No.1, Op.9 (in one movement) |
| 3. Symphony No.2, Op. 19 |
Barber's symphonies are somewhat uneven in quality, mainly because of his extensive revisions, and veer from the amazing to the mundane. Alsop and the RSNO create a lustrous sound and the first symphony in particular gives the cracking brass section ample opportunity to show off. It's Sibelian-like qualities couldn't be more different from the second, sounding uncannily like Britten's Peter Grimes written two years earlier in 1942. --Susan Nickalls
