Violin Concerto, 'Still'
Composer: Rebecca Saunders
Performers: ±«Óãtv Symphony Orchestra
Performer: Carolin Widmann (Violin)
Conductor: Lionel Bringuier
Date of broadcast: 10 February 2012
Saunders' 'Violin Concerto' is written in two contrasting movements, the first brisk and fiery, the second meditative and at peace. The first pits angry snippets of solo violin against abrasive orchestral noise. The second sounds like an alien landscape next to it, with extended, drone-like lines and a faraway, mysterious quality.
