About this product
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra has long been known for championing British contemporary music and, following two albums entirely dedicated to Thomas Wilson, the orchestra now turns to other leading composers of the contemporary scene. Devised by conductor Rory Macdonald, the programme includes works that share the themes of loss, love and life Jay Capperauld's Our Gilded Veins takes centre-stage, alongside Within Her Arms, Anna Clyne's 'fragile elegy' (The New Yorker), James MacMillan's legend-based The Death of Oscarand the commemorative For Zoe, Martin Suckling's Meditation (after Donne) - which features church bells from across Scotland - and Peter Maxwell Davies's Farewell to Stromness (in an arrangement for strings by Rosemary Furniss), which arguably features the composer's most recognisable tune.

This album brings together music by two English composers who are also good friends -and both born in East Anglia Nicholas Barton in Norfolk in 1950 and Christopher Wright in Suffolk in 1954. Moreover, they share a similar musical language largely tonal, if loosely so, rhythmically alert, transparently but dramatically scored and with a natural feeling for symphonic argument and growth, and a powerful sense of scale. InchMark Forkgen and his versatile chamber choir Canticum are obviously fully committed to Wright's music and have done him proud.Inch (Choir and Organ) Album Tracks 1. Accord Symphony in One Movement (2018) 2. Horn Concerto (2011) 3. Symphony (2015)

![Royal Scottish National Orchestra Held Brincken - Orchestral Music 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/437aab02-36d9-4bda-bb42-fa5ac58e4562.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Alexander Brincken, born in Leningrad in 1952 and Swiss-based since 1992, writes in an accessible and unashamedly late-Romantic language. His grandiose Fourth Symphony of 2014-15, written for a huge orchestra, has echoes of a number of earlier composers, among them Berlioz, Bruckner, Martinu, Wagner and, especially, Franz Schmidt and Richard Strauss, all assimilated into a big-hearted style that blends dignity, lyricism and power, with a strong sense of the Swiss landscapes in which he has made his home. The earlier Capriccio for piano and orchestra - a concerto in all but name - has, in turn, something of the sober strength and wiry energy of Frank Martin - curiously, since it was written seven years before Brincken moved to Switzerland. Rainer Held's recent Sutermeister recording for Toccata Classics was a revelation, and here's proof that he has not yet run out of symphonic surprises. Album Tracks 1. Symphony No. 4 in G minor, Op. 27 (2014-15) 2. Capriccio for Piano and Chamber Orchestra, Op. 11 (1985(
