Cast in three contrasting movements – each linked by a preoccupation with circling musical figures – the concerto, subtitled ‘Concentric Paths’ now occupies a place in standard repertoire. Two lithe, rhythmically driven movements – Rings and Rounds – bookend Paths, an intensely emotional and gritty exploration of passacaglia-like sequences, which peaks in a lyrical outpouring of exceptional beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘In just 20 minutes, this three-movement piece does something magical. The way it swirls ethereally in the first movement, exerts a tragic and vice-like grip in the chaconne-like second part and finally propels you into the uninhibited flight of the finale is like being spun into an infinite space\u003c\/em\u003e.’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Guardian (Tom Service\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481688744309,"sku":"9780571541881","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780571541881.jpg?v=1786089979","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/violin-concerto-concentric-paths","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
