The World's Ransoming was the first of three works commissioned from MacMillan by the LSO in 1996. Inspired by liturgies on Maundy Thursday, it is essentially a haunting concerto for cor anglais, premiered and played here again by the LSO's principal cor anglais and renowned soloist Christine Pendrill.
The Confession of Isobel Gowdie is the work that established MacMillan's reputation and remains one of his most popular works. MacMillan recounts the events surrounding the brutal torture and execution of young woman who in 1662 was accused of being a witch and uses it as the basis for expressing his fear of a new rise of fascism in Europe.
