            Stephen Bryant,Violin     David Robertson,Conductor   BBC Symphony Orchestra.


 I first met the brilliant German composer,Detlev Glanert at the BBC Proms in 2009 when the BBC Symphony Orchestra were performing one of his pieces.We talked then about the possibility of  playing his Violin Concerto and I am happy to say that it is now going to happen!The Concerto is inspired by Rilke’s “Sonnets to Orpheus” and is full of virtuosic violin writing,sensuous sounds and incredible detail.
