This album showcases three of his large-scale orchestral pieces; the dark, Mahlerian Cort\\xe8ge (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.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThree great works, then, to celebrate the three score and ten of a remarkable polymath.\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Violin Concerto I Movement 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Violin Concerto II Movement 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Cort\\xe8ge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Cello Concerto No.2 I Declamation.
