Delius: The Walk to the Paradise Garden
Walton: Violin Concerto
Adams: Shaker Loops
Copland: Appalachian Spring

Joseph Swensen, conductor; Isabelle van Keulen, viola

Swensen takes a journey through four very different sorts of sonorous sensuality: Copland’s dew-fresh New England landscape plays against Delius’ lush, twilit poetry. Adams’ energetic, driving rhythms contrast beautifully with Walton’s passionate, dramatic writing for the viola.

‘... Swensen and the orchestra were practically airborne and looked as if they were having the ride of their lives ...’ (The Scotsman)
