Description:

Orchestral works by James MacMillan! Viola Concerto played by Lawrence Power! Martin Brabbins performs the orchestral works of James MacMillan (b.1959), a leading contemporary Scottish composer who has been active in a variety of fields from choral to orchestral works. Featured is the Viola Concerto (2013) written for Lawrence Power, one of the finest violists of our time, who is a member of the Nash Ensemble and the Leopold String Trio and has delivered over 30 albums as a soloist. Unsurprisingly(?), the concerto is also available on the Hyperion), the first appearance of virtuoso virtuoso Martin Brabbins, who masterfully controls the BBC Philharmonic, and MacMillan's thrilling and majestic calligraphy are also highlights of this concerto.
