All three works on this disc are built around extra-musical images, suggesting an individual sound-world for each piece, as well as a narrative structure. Greek legend provides the subject matter for The Flight of Icarus, and The Spindle of Necessity, a concerto for trombone strings and percussion. Channel Firing, a dark and intense elegy, was inspired by a poem by Thomas Hardy, written shortly before the outbreak of the Great War.
These memorable scores are performed by the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra under the distinguished conductor Martyn Brabbins, making his first recording for BIS. The capable soloist in The Spindle of Necessity is Christian Lindberg.
