Proms 2016: Thomas Larcher – Symphony No. 2 ‘Kenotaph’ (UK Première), Sally Beamish – Merula perpetua; Bayan Northcott – Concerto for Orchestra (World Premières)

Your review of Northcott’s work is somehow, ‘a disappointment’. You fail to see the depth and mastery crafted in Northcott’s symphonic plan. In my humble opinion the work is a masterpiece, clearly!However, there are valid points in your simple analysis, especially the Waltonesque part of it. An overall good effort to review the work, rather epidermic though. Jules Vern
