Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.To celebrate Colin Matthews' 70th birthday we release this new album featuring a star-studded line-up of artists, including conductors Riccardo Chailly, Oliver Knussen, Rumon Gamba, and soloists Leila Josefowicz (violin) and Anssi Karttunen (cello).rrOver four decades Colin's output of over 130 works has ranged from solo piano music through five string quartets and many ensemble and orchestral works. This album showcases three of his large-scale orchestral pieces; the dark, Mahlerian Cortxe8ge (1988) being the earliest work recorded here. Matthews' Violin Concerto (2009) was composed for Leila Josefowicz and Colin says it 'emerged naturally from her musical personality, style and technique'. Matthews' Cello Concerto No.2 (1996) was composed for Mstislav Rostropovich, who gave its first performance with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Colin Davis at the Barbican, London, on 17 September 1996.rrThree great works, then, to celebrate the three score and ten of a remarkable polymath.
