One of my favourite Macmillan compositions (some I find less interesting/accessible). My entry piece for those new to Macmillan would be “After the tryst” - a beautiful miniature for violin and piano based on the poem “The Tryst” by William Souter. Avoid RU-vid performances except Phillip Granell. Start with the first recording by Ruth Crouch on the Evelyn Glennie Percussion Concerto album. The more recent recording on “Different Worlds” is also very good.
@@markdowding1371 Hi, if you like this kind of pieces I recommend you Takashi Yoshimatsu, if you don't know him yet, he does very beautiful contemporary pieces in tonal/modal style. Hope you enjoy it!
