These works of Sally Beamish, composed 2003-12, highlight the inspiration she has found in her adopted homeland Scotland and it's landscape and history, while also reflecting her interest in jazz and Scottish traditional music. Often collaboration closely with 'her' performers, the present disc's the three concertante works are all played by the eminent soloists for whom they were written: James Crabb, Branford Marsalis and HÃ¥kan Hardenberger. Conductor Martyn Brabbins and the RSNO, an ensemble that has performed her works on several occasions, join the former two soloists.
