COMPOSER:

Robin HOLLOWAY

DESCRIPTION

Holloway's rhapsodic, romantic Violin Concerto was inspired both by the Tiffany stained glass of a New York mansion, and by a Fauré song; the accompanying Horn Concerto combines neo-classicism with a darker, Mahlerian mood.

These recordings were originally released on Collins Classics.

Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.
 

REVIEWS

"The rich romanticism of Holloway's writing in these concertos will confound those who think of contemporary classical music as ditchwater dull or ridiculously complex... Echoes of Richard Strauss, British light music, Alban Berg and Fauré emerge from the fabric of both works, leaving the strong individual flavour of Holloway's writing intact."
Music Week 2003
