'Andrew Davis's new series of recordings for Chandos clearly isn't going to confine itself to just the major figures in 20th-century British music, and he could hardly have signalled that more clearly than by this pairing of the two little-known symphonies by York Bowen. The Second has been recorded before, but the First, composed in 1902 when Bowen was an 18-year-old student alongside Arnold Bax at the Royal Academy of Music, was only performed complete in public for the first time last year. It's a fluent but fundamentally unremarkable three-movement work, in a style that owes more to Mendelssohn and Schumann rather than to any later 19th-century British models. By the time of the Second Symphony seven years later, Bowen's style had become more extrovert – the orchestral writing is weightier and more confidently flamboyant, though its faded romanticism still lacks any trace of individuality. Davis and the BBC Philharmonic give both symphonies finely groomed performances, but there's no great act of reclamation going on here.' (The Guardian)
