Following on the success of ESSAY’s Aubrey-Maturin recordings, here are orchestral works from the time when the British Empire found itself confronted with Napoleon’s might. Clementi’s “Great National” symphony is fascinating - the second movement is a brilliant set of variations on God Save the King!
