Description:

Following a devastating cancer diagnosis in September 2022, Adrian Sutton, composer of the music for War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and other National Theatre productions, made a conscious decision to change his focus, committing himself to working solely on music for the concert hall. This has led to a series of major new works, including his Violin Concerto which received its world premiÃ¨re at the Southbank Centre in June 2023, played by Fenella Humphreys and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Adrian commented: â??We all have limited time â?? and resources. How to make best use of them? In my situation, thereâ??s only one answer: avoid egregious waste of both time and energy ruminating on things I canâ??t change. Instead, I can choose how I react to the facts â?? and Iâ??m choosing not to be a victim.â?? This new album of world-premiÃ¨re recordings reflects the composerâ??s new focus. Of the album, Adrian Sutton says: â??Here's the real musical me. My core musical DNA. The Violin Concerto in particular (being a violinist myself) is for me the main course on this disc, but the other works are a showcase for what Iâ??ve always been about... ranging from the bracing and instrumentally challenging A Fist Full of Fives through to orchestral suites derived from my theatre works. Iâ??m very proud of them all, and pleased to have had the opportunity to share them.â?? -
