Trumpet Concerto / Piccolo Concerto / Five Klee Pictures
Compil. DE 2013 on Naxos label
Classical (Contemporary)
'A wide cross-section of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's orchestral work is represented in this programme. Originally written for children, the Five Klee Pictures are anything but childish. Recorded by its dedicatee, Stewart McIlwham, the remarkable 'Piccolo Concerto' displays both the lyrical and mercurial sides of the instrument. Also performed by its dedicatee, John Wallace, the powerful 'Trumpet Concerto' here receives its definitive recording. 'Maxwell's Reel, with Northern Lights' inhabits worlds comparable with the popular 'An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise'.' Previously released on Collins Classics in 1991, 1995, 1998 Publishers: Chester Music Ltd. (tracks 1-3, 7); Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd. (tracks 4-6, 8-12) Cover photograph: 'Northern Lights at Brodgar, Orkney' by Doug Houghton Recorded at St. Augustine's Church, Kilburn, London, on 18th May, 1998 (tracks 1-3, 7); at Glasgow City Hall, Scotland, in April 1990 (tracks 4-6); and at All Saints Church, Tooting, London, on 3rd December 1994 (tracks 8-12)
