A Life On-Line: Welsh song, 20th-century quartets and quintets, Lamentations old and new
Britten: Phantasy Quartet - Scottish Chamber Orchestra (Photo taken from live-stream) This week we celebrate St David's Day with Welsh song, whilst the Scottish Chamber Orchestra gave us an imaginative programme of 20th century chamber music, the Swan Consort mixed old and new in support of Mind, and Frederick Keel's Salt Water Ballads from Düsseldorf. Monday was St David's Day, and to help celebrate soprano Elinor Rolfe Johnson and pianist Gavin Roberts gave a recital of Welsh art song as part of Wales Week London 2021. The recital was a mixture of songs in Welsh, arrangements of Welsh folk-songs and songs in English, all by Welsh composers. We began with Morfydd Owen (1891-1918), an intriguing figure who studied first in Cardiff and then at the Royal Academy of Music. In London her social circles moved between both the Charing Cross Welsh Presbyterian Chapel and London intellectual circles in […]

City Halls, Glasgow Soloist Alec Frank-Gemmill gave a terrifically controlled and dramatic performance of James MacMillan’s new Concertino for Horn and StringsJames MacMillan’s new Concertino for Horn and Strings – I say new, but really it’s a souped-up version of his Horn Quintet (2007) – is like a doleful hunting trip played out in real-time theatrics. The soloist begins and ends nowhere to be seen: at the premiere, Alec Frank-Gemmill legged it from balcony to stage in time for his second entry then disappeared behind the back of the audience, repeating a sad little phrase until it was impossible to tell whether he was playing or not. The concertino amounts to more than clever stage directions. If the traditional concerto soloist is heroic and the traditional horn part rallies the troops, MacMillan has created an antihero whose hunting calls are regretful and ultimately thwarted. Slight and striking preludes have been […]

Spence/Burnside/Edinburgh Quartet, etc (Delphian)The influence of Buxton Orr, born in Glasgow in 1924, lives on mainly via generations of students – he taught composition theory by making his pupils improvise and founded the Guildhall New Music Ensemble in 1975. But what of his own music? He was a diligent, tuneful, unobtrusively original composer. He’s worth hearing. Nicky Spence is the first singer to record a full disc of his songs and it’s a revelation. Imagine a gentler, quirkier Britten with dabblings in 12-tone technique and old Scots poems set to generous vocal lines and off-piste instrumentation (how about a duo for tenor and double bass?). It helps that these performances are so good. Pianist Iain Burnside and his colleagues bring out all the care and wit in the instrumental writing: swaggering clarinet lines (Jordan Black) and limpid strings (members of the Edinburgh Quartet) in the song cycle Canzona; boisterous […]
