Description

Rich, powerful musical language and a strong sense of drama have made Thea Musgrave one of the most respected and exciting of living composers. The composer herself remembers of Two’s Company:

“This work was commissioned by the BBC for Evelyn Glennie and Nicholas Daniel. It was an enormous challenge to write a dramatic work for two such dissimilar sound worlds. I decided that I would strongly dramatize this difference before brining them harmoniously together. The soloists move around the orchestra to different positions and these changes are always dramatically motivated. Throughout the two soloists are aware of each other and play with each other’s attention, but only come together musically and physically in the very last section.”
