Performance ***** Recording *****

Steph Power - BBC Music magazine - August 2020

“A thrilling account of his legendary breakthrough piece and a fascinating cello concerto, as attractive as it is weird.”

Richard Hanlon – MusicWeb-International.com – 17 July 2020

“… This piece [Concerto] is deservedly a modern classic, thanks in part to a 2011 Proms performance with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain under Vladimir Jurowski…. . I love this piece; it’s both deadly serious and great fun. Orchestral samples spar with their live counterparts, the wail of a sampled flute adding wonderful colour to the slow fourth movement. So much is packed into a short time span, the advantage of a recording being that you can instantly listen again… The coupling is a 2012 Cello Concerto, explicitly referencing the composer’s Russian heritage in an elegiac central movement. The ticking woodwinds and glowering lower brass are surely a nod to the composer’s grandfather, and it’s good to hear that a gift for writing sinuous melody runs in the family… As with the earlier disc in this series, coupling two concertos for Bass Drum and Saxophone, Signum’s production values are appealing – excellent sound and attractive graphic design make this another keeper.”
