Spin: New Music for Violin and Orchestra from Northern Ireland
Darragh Morgan (violin)
Ulster Orchestra
David Brophy (conductor)
Irish violinist Darragh Morgan, a tireless advocate for new music, here presents four concertos written for him over the past two decades by Frank Lyons, Brian Irvine, Bill Campbell and Ryan Molloy.
Recorded with the Ulster Orchestra under David Brophy, this compelling programme reflects the richness of Northern Ireland’s contemporary voice. Electronic transformation, folk-inflected rhythms and lyrical introspection coexist with passages of dazzling virtuosity, each work revealing a distinctive sound world.
Together they form a vivid, cohesive portrait in which solo brilliance and symphonic imagination are fused with striking assurance and colour.
