Info for Brett Dean: In spe contra spem, Viola & Cello Concertos and Orchestral Works (Live)

Brett Dean was the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Composer-in-Residence from 2020–2023; this release brings together seven works recorded live in concert during his tenure. Together with five leading conductors and five outstanding soloists, the LPO skilfully navigates the diverse facets of Dean’s orchestral writing, from the vivid soundscapes and virtuosity of the Viola and Cello Concertos, to the drama of In spe contra spem – quoting letters and speeches by Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots – and the theatrical accordion work The Players, which revisits scenes from Dean’s award-winning 2017 opera Hamlet.
