Northern Sinfonia/Casken - John Casken: Cello Concerto, Darting the Skiff

Casken's lyrical Cello Concerto is coupled with Maharal Dreaming, a vivid orchestral fantasy derived from his opera Golem; the glittering showpiece for strings, Darting the Skiff; and the theatrical and exuberant Vaganza, with its echoes of Petrushka.
