A maze-like concerto: melancholic yet searching, containing a force-of-will that, on the one hand seems playful - characteristic of frisky bugaboos or lucky dice rolls, yet at the same time targets an aspect that seems to hanker for daunting darkness and clandestine manipulation: the terrain it covers is enchanted, though not necessarily with pleasant dreams. Personally, I like to think of it as music that encapsulates a crow's strange consciousness.... Yes, anyway, enough of my whimsy. Holloway's Third Concerto for Orchestra is a long and deep work that drifts and weaves with a mysterious purpose through what I see as lush woodland and misty hollows, graveyards and unsafe viaducts - Ha! Very good on all fronts.

This is a concerto which could easily be mistaken for a subtly experimental symphony: at once mysterious and fanciful, it takes the listener on a journey of strange ambition through shadowy terrain where the wanderer's dreaming-eye roams free....
