Tony Matthews: The Ballad of Grosso the Goth

Details

Description

An Episode from the epic masterwork "The Amazing Adventures of Grosso the Goth". The episode is portrayed as a Concerto Grosso, with a Clarinet, Trumpet and Bassoon as the soloists emerging from within the Chamber Orchestra.

I tried to get the largest possible sound from the orchestra, the London Contemporary Chamber Orchestra, as well as making it an enjoyable play. The orchestral player's comments were along the lines of “When is the film coming out“? :-)

So... Grosso the Goth... who was he?
