Bliss: Meditations and Variations
18th May 2010
Bliss’s forty-minute Metamorphic Variations of 1972 dates from the end of his creative life and was inspired by the triptych ‘Tantris’ painted by Bliss’s long-time friend George Dannatt. It is complemented by one of the composer’s most eloquent and personal scores, Meditations on a Theme by John Blow, a private tribute to a generation cut down in its youth, including his own brother, during World War I.
