Works by young British composer Anna Clyne, alongside Berlioz and the timeless The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams

Anna Clyne, one of Britain’s most exciting young composers, describes Night Ferry as ‘music of voyages, from stormy darkness to enchanted worlds’. True, but that hardly captures the thrilling turbulence of the ride it takes into uncharted waters

Listen closely and you might hear echoes of the similarly restless Symphonie fantastique – but in truth Berlioz’s utterly wild work, written under the twin influences of opium and unrequited love, is like nothing else

In between, Vaughan Williams’s beloved classic of the English rural springtime injects a welcome note of tranquillity
