Stefan Jackiw and Friends
Leading American violinist Stefan Jackiw and friends play Brahms's exuberant Piano Quartet No 1 in gypsy style and the dreamy, folk-inflected Violin Sonata by Sir James MacMillan.
Leading American violinist Stefan Jackiw and friends bring a programme inspired by folk music. Brahms's exuberant Piano Quartet, well-loved for its famous finale alla Zingarese reflects Brahms' interest in the wild gypsy-style music of Hungary while James MacMillan uses a dreamier melody inspired by Scottish poet William Soutar. He writes, 'This all came out of a poem of the same name by Scottish writer William Soutar, which I grew to love. I set it initially as a song for my folk group, and then 鈥榗lassicised鈥� it as 鈥楢 Scots Song鈥�. It is a love poem in the Scots language and I set it to sound like an old Scots folk song.'
