@James MacMillan: A Scotch Bestiary (2003-04)
BBC Philharmonic conducted by / dirigida por James MacMillan. Organ/órgano: Wayne Marshall I. The Menagerie, caged / Los animales, enjaulados (0:00) II. The Menagerie, uncaged / Los animales, en libertad (21:09) James MacMillan is one of Britain’s foremost contemporary composers, creating eclectic music along avant-garde, minimalist and neoromantic lines of musical thought. His Scotch Bestiary was composed to celebrate the opening of the brand new Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and as the great cartoonist of the 20th Century, MacMillan decided to portray men as animals using Scottish models. For such a goal he received triple inspiration from Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of Animals as an ideas frame and from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Elgar’s Enigma Variations as development and structure. The work is divided in two parts: the first one is an expressive theme and variations on several Scottish picturesque human portraits; the second one is an unleashed image of human and animal nature dominated by chaos, unbalance and disproportion. James MacMillan es uno de los compositores más prominentes de la época contemporánea en Gran Bretaña, creando un estilo ecléctico bajo líneas musicales vanguardistas, minimalistas y neorrománticas. Su Bestiario Escocés responde a la inauguración del nuevo Walt Disney Concert Hall de Los Ángeles y tal como el gran caricaturista, MacMillan decidió retratar a los humanos como animales tomando a los escoceses por modelo. Para tal efecto, recibió triple inspiración por un lado viniendo del Carnaval de los Animales de Saint-Saëns como marco de ideas y de los Cuadros de una Exposición de Mussorgsky y de las Variaciones Enigma de Elgar como marco de desarrollo y estructura. La obra se divide en dos partes: la primera es un expresivo tema y variaciones sobre varios retratos humanos de escoceses pintorescos; la segunda es una imagen desatada de las naturalezas humanas y animales dominadas por el caos, el desbalance y la falta de proporción.
