Commission: Detlev Glanert Double Piano Concerto

…an initial musical cell – in this case a simple scale in thirds – is varied or permutated to create a sequence of episodes of stunning diversity. The huge technical demands placed upon both soloists were met with great distinction.

Brian Davidson, International Piano Magazine, May/June 2008

Glanert whisks us on a journey through space – to Mars… The seed material is a little scale in thirds, running up and down… Glanert the magician turns it into a pulsing particle of matter, constantly mutating and exploding. Moore and Crawford-Phillips proved ideal spacemen, with Brabbins and the orchestra riding alongside.
