Music review: Scottish Chamber Orchestra
THE UK premiere of Stephen Goss’s Theorbo Concerto, given by Matthew Wadsworth and the SCO Strings, also happened to be the first concerto ever written for this 17th century lute-like instrument. Commissioned by Wadsworth, the five-movement work was not only a vehicle for his talents but a chance to hear the theorbo, with the help of amplification, in a modern context.
