BBC Symphony Orchestra, Andrew Davis - David Sawer: Byrnan Wood

Byrnan Wood was inspired by Shakespeare's famous peripatetic forest in Macbeth; it explores the possibilities offered by the permutation of stillness into movement, as musical figures pass between players like Chinese whispers.


Reviews:

"Sawer's writing is full of vivid ideas and crisp shapes; the whole piece has a machine-like inevitability about it that generates real physical excitement, and it is well caught in the BBC Symphony's performance under Andrew Davis."
The Guardian 1995
