Music with a mysterious purpose
Review By NH100270,October 2012

A maze-like concerto: melancholic yet searching, containing a force-of-will that, on the one hand seems playful - characteristic of frisky bugaboos or lucky dice rolls, yet at the same time targets an aspect that seems to hanker for daunting darkness and clandestine manipulation: the terrain it covers is enchanted, though not necessarily with pleasant dreams. Personally, I like to think of it as music that encapsulates a crow's strange consciousness... Yes, just imagine that - a crow's strange consciousness...

Anyway, enough of my whimsy, Holloway's Third Concerto for Orchestra is a long and deep work that drifts and weaves with a mysterious purpose through what I see as lush woodland and misty hollows, graveyards and unsafe viaducts - Ha! 'Tis very good on all fronts. more....
