The Hebrides Ensemble revisits its first ever commission, John Bevan Baker’s exquisitely crafted Eclogue from 1994, set here in company with other contemporary landmarks of Scotland’s thriving musical culture. Its programme embraces the inspiring energy of Scottish traditional music and its expression through two irresistible works by Judith Weir. Wigmore Hall’s survey of Scotland’s composers also embraces the edgy soundworlds of Thea Musgrave’s Night Windows, inspired by a famous Edward Hopper painting, and I am Prometheus, Stuart MacRae’s compassionate portrait of a tragically flawed Greek hero.
