Jamie Phillips is committed to new and 20th century music.  In 2020 he recorded a disc of contemporary works inspired by JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations with the NDR Radio Philharmonie and Niklas Liepe for Sony. He previously recorded CDs featuring the music of Tarik O’Regan and Helen Grime, both with the Hallé for the NMC label: “Performances are spot-on, not least from the orchestra’s assistant conductor, Jamie Phillips, making an auspicious debut on disc.” Classical Music Magazine
