The album opens with PUCK - fleeing from the dawn, an overture marked by captivating intensity, introducing Gordon's signature elements of passionate melody and refined orchestration. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, led by Brabbins, brings these compositions to life, creating a tapestry of dark and luminous musical expressions.
Dimitri Mestdag's cor anglais adds an unnerving layer in Mad Song, a new sonority further explored in the following ICE - aut inveniam viam aut faciam, showcasing Gordon's adept handling of sonic textures. The journey concludes with Prometheus, a bass clarinet concerto after Franz Kafka, featuring bass clarinettist Laurent Ben Slimane and the Philharmonia.
Geoffrey Gordon's remarkable contributions to contemporary music, characterised by infectious style and sonic experimentation, resonate throughout the album. In "Mythologies and Mad Songs", Gordon's music invites listeners on a reflective journey, where myth and melody converge in a harmonious dance. The album promises a symphonic exploration that captivates and challenges, leaving its own unique dent on the canvas of modern classical music.
