About
On this disc, two ‘Berlin pieces’ are included. Twelve Angry Men, written for the cellists of the orchestra, was inspired by the famous courtroom film with the same name and charts the course of the jury’s heated deliberations. Komarov’s Fall, for full orchestra, was commissioned by Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic as a companion piece for Holst’s The Planets, and was written in memory of the Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, the first person to die in space (in 1967).
These two works are complemented by the solo-piece Intimate Decisions, and the recent and much-acclaimed Viola Concerto, which was met with great acclaim - “The concerto has plenty of good ideas – a brief, meditative introduction, a vivid hunt of soloist by orchestra, and finally a dank reverie, the elegiac quality of which is suffused with quasi-expressionist angst. Curiously beautiful, somewhat enigmatic? No question.” - Financial Times
