Two major works from Sir James Macmillan make their CD debut! The Violin Concerto is performed on this disc by it dedicatee Vadim Repin. The 4th Symphony is dedicated to Donald Runnicles. Sir James MacMillan is one of today’s most successful composers. His musical language is flooded with influences from his Scottish heritage, Catholic faith, social conscience and close connection with Celtic folk music, blended with influences from Far Eastern, Scandinavian and Eastern European music. The 4th Symphony recording is from the 2015 BBC Proms and was the world premier performance.
