Beschreibung
Premiered by Oliver Knussen and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1992, Broken Symmetry is a 20-minute outburst of energy and momentum. Vivid, violent, occasionally threatening, its character is continuous with Matthews’ Suns Dance, Hidden Variables, and Toccata Meccanica. The orchestral forces showcase a large complement of woodwind and brass (including a rare, dark-hued bass clarinet) with its musical material in a constant state of transformation. The percussion section – extensive and colourful – plays an especially important role in generating and sustaining the work’s animating forces, Broken Symmetry is dedicated to the memory of David Johnson, the BBC SO percussionist who passed away unexpectedly in 1990.
