Grant Llewellyn : Discography

CONDUCTOR

BRITISH VIOLIN CONCERTOS
These three major British concertos span fully 70 years. Kenneth Leightons Concerto is a work of tensile urgency, scored with great imagination, and ending in an arch-like Epilogue of impassioned intensity. Written for soloist and string orchestra, the Concerto by Gordon Jacob contains at its heart a threnodic slow movement cast in long, moving paragraphs and accompanied by poetic effects. Written for (and premiered by) the soloist in this recording, Paul Pattersons Violin Concerto No. 2 (Serenade) is rich in high spirits; songlike, wistful and exuberantly sparkling.  Grant Llewellyn conducts Clare Howick (violin) and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
