Simon Holt's new Percussion Concerto offers a vivid and quirky portrait of the composer's childhood memories of his great uncle, who was a taxidermist: with movement titles such as 'fly', 'skennin' Mary' and 'a drawer full of eyes', it is sure to offer up a few surprises!

The solo part is taken by a brilliant young Scottish percussionist who has already performed with orchestras all around the world. Martyn Brabbins shows off his special affinity with Russian music in a centenary tribute to Rimsky-Korsakov in the shape of the colourful suite from his fairy-tale opera, and in Rachmaninov's last orchestral work, the thrilling Symphonic Dances.

  • Martyn Brabbins conductor
  • Colin Currie percussion
  • Rimsky-Korsakov: The Golden Cockerel - Suite 24’
  • Holt: A Table of Noises (World premiere) 21’
  • Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances 36’
