About

This disc is a culmination of Jonathan Harvey’s highly successful residency with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and includes the works commissioned during that time. Harvey has a truly global reputation, particularly for his work in the field of electroacoustic music (he has been commissioned by IRCAM on eight separate occasions), where he is considered as one of the most skilled and imaginative composers using the electronic medium today. He is also an influential and important teacher of younger generation of composers.

The works on this disc explore Harvey’s fascination with Eastern philosophies from the ecstatic Indian text of White as Jasmine to Body Mandala, the newest piece on this disc, which explores Harvey’s interest in Buddhism and uses the sound of Tibetan trumpets and percussion.

In 2007, Harvey was the winner of the first Giga-Hertz Award - an international award with a jury that included Pierre Boulez and Wolfgang Rihm.
