Featuring works from the highly successful residency of Jonathan Harvey with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, this disc explores his fascination with Eastern philosophies – from the ecstatic Indian text of White as Jasmine, the meditative Tranquil Abiding and 'towards a Pure Land, to the raucous Tibetan brass and percussion of Body Mandala. The disc is completed by Timepieces, Harvey’s early work for orchestra with two conductors.
‘Four of the five pieces in this impressive selection of Jonathan Harvey’s orchestral pieces deal in different ways with Harvey’s deep fascination with eastern religions… All are striking, beautifully achieved pieces.’
