About
Sinfonia of London’s second album of works of Kenneth Fuchs features four world première recordings. Two of the works feature soloists: the Bass Trombone Concerto loosely follows sonata form whilst utilising the full range of the instrument, and revelling in its lyrical side. Eventide, for alto saxophone and orchestra, is a re-working of an earlier concerto that Fuchs wrote for cor anglais. Described by the composer as a set of ‘fantasy variations based upon the simple triadic intervals typical of spirituals’, the alto saxophone version was composed for this album’s soloist, Tim McAllister. Point of Tranquility was originally composed for wind band, but Fuchs then prepared this orchestral version at the request of JoAnn Falletta for her Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. The piece is inspired by Fuchs’s reaction to the eponymous painting by Morris Louis. The orchestral suite Light Year is also inspired by a series of paintings, these ones by Helen Frankenthaler. Cast in six movements, the extremely evocative work captures the breath-taking scale and mysterious nature of the universe. Light Year was composed for and dedicated to John Wilson and Sinfonia

“…The whole production and recording are flawless. Dr Fuchs writes music we need to hear in these difficult times, and I eagerly look forward to what I hope will be a another volume in this series.”

“…So much to enjoy here, but especially Light Year and the Bass Trombone Concerto. ****
Michael Beek – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – August 2024
“… The scope and flair of the playing in this second volume of Fuch’s orchestral works, and the range of music presented, make it essential listening, not least for the inclusion of those two concertos.”
