Thanks Graham

I too was at that concert and totally agree with your comments. He really was outstanding, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece too. I have quite a few friends in the BBCSO and they were telling me the day before the concert that they were all having quite a bit of trouble with the piece, saying that Osmo Vanska was having difficulties with the ever changing time signatures, changing from 1/16 to 3/2 and then back into common time just to confuse everyone! it sounds as if Frost was in command throughout and guided them all (including Vanska) through it!

What a performance though! they nailed it in the end it seems!! Did you notice Richard Hosford on Eb (the 1st part) mimicking the solo line at times in a sort of weird downward gliss mating call !!?!!

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did anyway, & it's so great to see yet another world premier for our instrument at the Barbican, having seen Kari Krikku and Stoltzman both play new works there in the past year or so. It seems our repertoire is growing quite rapidly!
