Programme Note

Arco features on the album 'Dance', recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Paul Bateman.

The opening and closing movements of Arco hint at the tradition of Russian ballet music both rhythmically and melodically, the solo violin dancing ‘butterfly like’ above the orchestra. In contrast, the slow movement has a pensive intensity.

Reviews

"Like the best light music there is much to hold the attention here, with craftmanship, lyricism and attention to detail."
