Not many people can claim a symphony devoted to them and G. F. Watts is one of the few that has the honour. Written in the spring of 1905, shortly after the artist’s death, the symphony was premiered in London the following year. After its first performance it was performed only once more before being almost entirely ignored for nearly 80 years. The work was revived recently and a recording is now available on the low price Naxos label, conducted by David Lloyd-Jones with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
