Sir John Blackwood McEwen was, along with Sir Alexander Mackenzie and Hamish MacCunn, one-third of a great triumvirate of late nineteenth century Scottish composers. He was less the obvious nationalist in his work than MacCunn, though his orchestral works also tended to incorporate Scottish folk themes (as well as a recognizable French influence). His major activity as a composer was rooted in the early years of the new century, during which he brought forth such orchestral compositions as the Border Ballads (1908) and the Solway Symphony (1911).
The Solway Symphony, a slightly unusual piece for its time as a three-movement work, wasn't performed until 11 years after it was published, but its acceptance was such that it became the first symphony by a British composer to be recorded by the HMV label and it received occasional broadcast performances in the decades after.
Performed by Tho London Philharmonic conducted by Alasdari Mitchell , with Moray Welsh (cello).
