BBC SSO in Concert 2 by Ablinger, Poppe, E., Unknown, A. /., Aπό (2015/2015), αγωγός Ilan Volkov, City Halls, Glasgow, United Kingdom

One of the most innovative and influential composers in the field of new music today, Peter Ablinger’s BBC Commission, Quartz, about the passing of time, opens the second orchestral concert. German composer Enno Poppe’s works have been acclaimed for their “rhythmic inventiveness and harmonic clarity” and Altbau receives its first UK outing since its composition in 2007/8. The second part of the concert is given over to Topophony, a new work created by composer Christopher Fox and Rhodri Davies, where the soloist will spontaneously compose his part to accompany a pre-written orchestral score.
