Laura van der Heijden joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ryan Wigglesworth for this album of British cello concertos. Frank Bridge’s Oration, composed in 1929–30, was intended as an outcry against the inhumanity of warfare, and a tribute to the victims of the First World War. Its arch-form single continuous movement exhibits the intense chromaticism typical of Bridge’s output from this era.
