The Royal Scottish National Orchestra has long been known for championing British contemporary music and, following two albums entirely dedicated to Thomas Wilson, the orchestra now turns to other leading composers of the contemporary scene. Devised by conductor Rory Macdonald, the programme includes works that share the themes of loss, love and life: Jay Capperauld’s Our Gilded Veins takes centre-stage, alongside Within Her Arms, Anna Clyne’s ‘fragile elegy’ (The New Yorker), James MacMillan’s legend-based The Death of Oscarand the commemorative For Zoe, Martin Suckling’s Meditation (after Donne) – which features church bells from across Scotland – and Peter Maxwell Davies’s Farewell to Stromness (in an arrangement for strings by Rosemary Furniss), which arguably features the composer’s most recognisable tune.

Works:

•Jay Capperauld: Our Gilded Veins
•Anna Clyne: Within Her Arms
•James MacMillan: For Zoe; The Death of Oscar
•Martin Suckling: Meditation
•Peter Maxwell Davies: Farewell to Stromness
