Our Gilded Veins
Katherine Bryan, Henry Clay
Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Rory MacDonald
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra has long been known for championing British contemporary music and, following two albums entirely dedicated to Thomas Wilson, the orchestra now turns to other leading composers of the contemporary scene. Devised by conductor Rory Macdonald, the programme includes works that share the themes of loss, love and life: Jay Capperauld's Our Gilded Veins takes centre-stage, alongsideWithin Her Arms, Anna Clyne's 'fragile elegy' (The New Yorker), James MacMillan's legend-basedThe Death of Oscarand the commemorativeFor Zoe, Martin Suckling'sMeditation (after Donne)- which features church bells from across Scotland - and Peter Maxwell Davies'sFarewell to Stromness(in an arrangement for strings by Rosemary Furniss), which arguably features the composer's most recognisable tune.

Suckling’s quiet close featuring (pre-recorded) bells is undeniably affecting. If it and Clyne’s elegy are the expressive focal points of the album, then Rosemary Furniss’s arrangement for strings of Maxwell Davies’s Farewell to Stromness concludes proceedings in rather more sentimental vein.
