Rebecca MillerAbout
The Viola Concerto - composed for the soloist Paul Neubauer - was in the first instance inspired and informed by the viola music of Robert and Clara Schumann, but takes on a number of other influences. Taking the performer's own interest in folk music as an influence too, the final movement "A Song My Mother Taught Me" is based on the well-known Yiddish song Tumbalalaika. Dreamsongs also follows folk influences, following inspiration from sources including aboriginal 'dreamsongs' and the West African djembe drum. A virtuosic work, it was developed in collaboration with the cellist Joshua Roman who features as soloist in this recording.
Conductor Rebecca Miller leads the Royal Northern Sinfonia in the final work Concerto with Echoes, inspired by the
sixth Brandenburg Concerto, and in the composer's own words "...comes from its very first measure - the opening passage with two spiraling solo violas, like identical twins following each other breathlessly though a hall of mirrors...this concerto mirrors the Sixth by using only violas, celli and basses, while gradually adding reeds and horns into a loop back to the sound world of the First Brandenburg Concerto".
