Description
The solo pairing of his Concerto No. 5 was inspired by Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, the soloists appearing in dialogue over intricate harmonies and dense string textures. Illuminated by Peter Bruegel's painting Children's Games, the distinctively scored Concerto No. 6 has an uninhibited lightness and transparency. Strathclyde Concerto No. 2 can be heard on Naxos 8.573017, Nos. 3 and 4 on 8.572353.Our re-releases of Peter Maxwell Davies's remarkable recorded legacy have become a significant part of the Naxos contemporary music catalogue, with each new title eagerly awaited by fans and aficionados. Performed by the work's dedicatees, these recordings are the definitive reference for this significant concerto repertoire, and their return to general availability will be widely welcomed.
