Writing in Glasgow's broadsheet The Herald, Michael Tumelty described Beamish's concerto as "louping with cultural influences — from Nordic horn calls and Christian chants to bluesy solos and a global feast of rhythms from jazz to dance to Latin Americas or Spain, all welded into a glorious carnival of colour and movement." We hear it tonight with Saxophone virtuoso John Harle and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra under Ola Rudner.
