Baroque Threads, Contemporary Colours
COUPERIN arr ADÈS Les barricades mystérieuses
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Suite for Viola and Small Orchestra (Selection)
TIPPETT Fantasia on a Theme of Corelli
RAMEAU Les Sauvages
LINDBERG Viola Concerto (Scottish Premiere)
Lawrence Power director/viola
Kaleidoscopic hues and big emotions sit side by side in this vibrant concert weaving together the Baroque era and the present day, directed by outstanding British viola player Lawrence Power.
After catchy tunes by two French Baroque masters – the first in a witty arrangement by contemporary British composer Thomas Adès – Tippett spins visionary tendrils of sound in his rapturous Corelli-inspired Fantasia, while Vaughan Williams saved some of his most memorably melodic music for his rarely-heard Suite.
Power himself is the dedicatee of the Viola Concerto by Finnish powerhouse composer Magnus Lindberg: expect scintillating soundscapes and perfumed harmonies in this deeply charismatic music.
