John Rutter introduces his expressive new work – 'Visions'

In this short introduction, John Rutter tells us the story behind the development of this new four-movement showpiece which he believes to be the first violin concerto in history with a part for boys’ choir. Visions was written for the dazzling 19-year-old Canadian violinist Kerson Leong, the 2010 Junior 1st Prize winner of the Menuhin Competition, and the boy choristers of the Temple Church, London. https://www.oup.com/academic/product/... Bringing together the celestial sound-world of the choir, virtuosic, vibrant, expressive writing for violin and a backdrop of rich textures and harmonies in the strings and harp, Rutter’s lyrical writing magnifies the profound subject matter inspired by the concept of Jerusalem as a Holy City and the utopian ideal of heavenly peace and seraphic bliss. © Oxford University Press
