Anglo-Scottish Take On New Music

Sally Beamish : Violin Concerto, Callisto ( concerto for flute and orchestra ), Symphony No 1 Performers : Royal Scottish national Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins, Anthony Marwood violin, Sharon Bezaly flute. Representative selection of the composer's output, all pieces occupying a similar sound world but the different lead instruments creating enough variety. The programmatic aspect of the violin concerto being based on All Quiet On The Western Front not immediately discernible.
