BBC Symphony Orchestra, Composers Ensemble, Simon Bainbridge, Walter Trampler, London Sinfonietta, Michael Tilson Thomas - Simon Bainbridge: Ancora

This Ancora reissue features Simon Bainbridge's Viola Concerto - commissioned by soloist Walter Trampler; the Fantasia for Double Orchestra, scored for two identical “mirror-image” orchestras placed to the left and right of the stage; and the energetic Concertante in Moto Perpetuo for ten players, featuring oboist Nicholas Daniel.

Originally released on Continuum Records in 1992. Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.


Reviews:

"Welcome as this reappearance of a fifteen-year-old release most certainly is, it brings home how little of Simon Bainbridge's music — always finely made, always slightly on the edge (and expressive thereby), astonishingly various and yet personal — has made it onto record... It is the Viola Concerto that makes this record indispensable, and proves Bainbridge did not have to wait for Levi's words to uncover the melancholy and melodic power in his music."
Paul Griffiths 2006
