Thierry Escaich Composer Portrait concert / BBC National Orchestra of Wales, cond. Franck Ollu
“Such is [his music’s] energy and buoyancy that the listener is carried irresistibly in the flow. To counterbalance this apparently unstoppable force, Escaich concerns himself with structure and, in characteristically French fashion, also explores the colour and timbres of sound, with sometimes cataclysmic peaks.”
