Product details
Torrent begins with immediate, unrelenting forward motion. Flurries disperse among the winds and strings, supported by bold, fanfare-like interjections from the brass and percussion. But before long a second theme emerges - one of complete rhythmic simplicity and contrast, first heard in the pizzicato strings and then passed to the woodwinds. After a brief return of the opening flourish, a languid oboe solo heralds the beginning of a gentle, slow intermezzo. Muted brass and vibraphone accompany an extended violin solo, eventually entwined with lyrical responses from the piccolo. However, the relative peace of this passage proves short-lived - trumpets and snare drum drive towards an extended recapitulation in which the second theme is entirely transformed to make for a martial, tumultuous conclusion.
