The solo pairing of his Concerto No. 5 was inspired by Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, the soloists appearing in dialogue over intricate harmonies and dense string textures. Illuminated by Peter Bruegel’s painting Children’s Games, the distinctively scored Concerto No. 6 has an uninhibited lightness and transparency. Strathclyde Concerto No. 2 can be heard on Naxos 8573017, Nos. 3 and 4 on 8572353.
