Lawrence Power, BBC Philharmonic & Martyn Brabbins - James MacMillan: Symphony No 4 & Viola Concerto (2020) [Hi-Res]

MacMillan’s viola concerto was written for Lawrence Power, who brings a unique authority to this, its first recording. The fourth symphony—a major addition to the repertoire—is a generous and appropriate coupling, both works incorporating and alchemically transforming musical elements from the distant past.
