Peter Maxwell Davies- Strathclyde Concerto No. 9 for 6 Woodwind (CD)
Peter Maxwell Davies's Strathclyde Concertos, jointly commissioned by Strathclyde Regional Council and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in 1987, have given rise to a whole family of concertos for different and unusual instruments. The Ninth Concerto provides an opportunity for woodwind instruments to shine as soloists, the music inspired by the infinite shades of winter light reflected from the seas of Orkney. The final Tenth Concerto is "a concerto for orchestra that's as bracing as a gale on the rugged Orkney cliffs" (BBC Music Magazine), and the delightful CarolÃsima is filled with dances and singable tunes.
Tracklist:
- Strathclyde Concerto No. 9
- Strathclyde Concerto No. 10: I. Allegro Non Troppo
- Strathclyde Concerto No. 10: II. Lento
- Strathclyde Concerto No. 10: III. Moderato
- Carolisima
