Orchestral Works
Brian Elias studied at London’s Royal College of Music with Humphrey Searle and Bernard Stevens and privately with Elisabeth Lutyens.
Brian was born in Bombay (Mumbai) and lived there until the age of thirteen.
His ballet The Judas Tree won an Olivier Award for Best New Dance Work and an International Emmy Award for Performing Arts.
Doubles was awarded the Best Orchestral prize at the 2010 British Composer Awards 2010 ‘Purely as psychodrama, The House is gripping. But what makes it really memorable is the clarity and vigour of Elias's orchestral writing. Humming throughout with perky rhythms, never cluttered, and full of imaginative ideas (including the 21st-century equivalent of the Pizzicato Polka), it struck me as among the best things that the 53-year old composer has penned.’ The Times (2002).
The bold and dazzlingly inventive The House That Jack Built - inspired by the rumbustiousness, games and jeers of the playground - is coupled with the elaborate, intense Doubles (a large orchestral work commissioned by the BBC Symphony Orchestra) and A Talisman, for bass-baritone and small orchestra which is based upon Hebrew text inscribed on a silver 19th century amulet - intended to protect against the Evil Eye - which was given to Elias's mother in 1969 by her uncle, whose family emigrated from Kurdistan to Bombay in the middle of the 19th century. |

Subcollection: PianoCapriccio - is an Italian word, but it is easy to understand what it means. As practice shows, not only spoilt girls like to be capricious. Public in general get used to do it. And musicians are the best to soothe it. As a genre Capriccio came to Russia from Europe, exactly from Italy. But, in spite of its foreign birth Russian composers had assimilated it brilliantly. Today's public - in a way a «granddaughter» of the XIXth century indulges itself with an orchestra Capriccios by Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Rubinstein. Russian classics were inspired by Italian and Spain themes, hence all compositions are penetrated with South spirit, and it could be seen in every bar and, even in the titles of capriccios. Only Rubinstein preferred a truly Russian capriccio, (that's its both title and essence) to Neapolitan's songs. This composition is outstanding, it is more lyric and vast scale, special Russian heartedness and temperament, as hot as Spanish, but closer to Russian mentality. As far as the form of capriccio is free (just as a feature of genre), sudden dramaturgic turns, rhythmic changes, condition changes and improvisation moments makes this music so powerful. Orchestral tutti and tender melodic parts shades each other and turn one ecstatic soul into a great delight. Burning, hot music of the South strikes fire from the strings, winds out from brass and wood bells, stuns with its brilliance and satisfies the most esthetic caprices of the most refine amateur of music. |

World Premiere Recording
Subcollection: OrchestreRecorded 18 January 2007 (Matthews), 21 and 22 June 2007 (Eggert); 18 and 19 September 2007 (Verbeij and Glanert) all at Concertgebouw Amsterdam
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is famous throughout the world for its interpretations of works in the Classical symphonic repertoire. But, as with its legendary performances of the works of Mahler and Strauss at the beginning of the 20th-century, the orchestra is also open to new developments in contemporary music. Exploring new horizons and sound spaces, the orchestra continues to foster relationships with contemporary composers employing unconventional working methods. Compositions by Theo Verbey, Moritz Eggert, Colin Matthews and Detlev Glanert, the first three having been written specially for the RCO, attest to the orchestra's unrivalled sound inspire tour-de-force performances by the musicians.
A supporter and enthusiastic advocate of such orchestral exploits, conductor Markus Stenz leaves his own unmistakable stamp on these live recordings. Jörgen van Rijen was featured in One to Watch in Gramophone, May issue.A Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award winner, the Verbeij concerto was commisioned by the RCO for him, the youngest member when he joined as principal trombone in 1997. |
