The album showcases Harrison's distinctive style, characterized by an elegant, understated idiom reflective of mid-20th-century English music. This album features the premier recordings of a selection of Harrison's songs, alongside her chamber works, ranging from large-scale ensemble pieces to intimate miniatures. The performers, a mix of distinguished teaching staff from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and talented recent graduates, bring fresh vitality to Harrison's music, ensuring her legacy endures.
