Editor's info:
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Robertas Šervenikas is joined by violinist Philippe Graffin and trumpeter Christopher Hart in a programme that includes the beautiful Soliloquies for Trumpet & Strings and the passionate Concerto for Violin & Orchestra titled Dances, Elegies & Epitaphs and dedicated to the memory of the composer’s father. Completing this portrait is Capriccio for orchestra, based on the hymn tune ‘Abide with me’ and wind quintet In Xanadu.

The Guardian, July'17
This refreshing recording takes its name from the subtitle of Peter Fribbins's concerto for violin and orchestra, a showcase for Philippe Graffin and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra that brims with vitality and clear, sinuous melody. In his new Soliloquies for trumpet and strings, superbly played here by Christopher Hart, that Fribbins's gift for long, searching and euphonious melody is most on display.
