Pushing boundaries: Scottish Ensemble’s Shifting Patterns in Perth
Jonathan Morton leads the Scottish Ensemble in Górecki’s extraordinary Quasi una fantasia, before diving headlong into seven Anna Meredith tracks, featuring visuals by Ewan Jones Morris.
The Scottish Ensemble rounded off their short Scottish tour in Perth with an engrossing ‘Shifting Patterns’ programme showcasing two distinctive musical voices, Anna Meredith and Henryk Górecki.
For this performance, electronics were used, each instrument individually miked. Górecki’s Quasi una fantasia was the single work in the first half, a version for string orchestra of his String Quartet no. 2, written for the Kronos Quartet.
In four distinctive movements ranging from austere beauty, musical loops and fiery energy, it was an intense experience, engrossingly vivid.
