Wednesday 30 October, 1996 – City Hall, Glasgow, Scotland
Scottish Chamber Orchestra, cond. Peter Maxwell Davies
Boosey & Hawkes Ltd., 1997 (HPS 1312)
"The Concerto for Orchestra ends the cycle of ten 'Strathclyde' concertos, which I have written for the principals of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra over a period of several years. It extends virtuosity to all members of the orchestra — even back-desk players find themselves suddenly spotlit, playing chords alone in the first movement." — Peter Maxwell Davies (1934–2016)
