Description:
Concert overture for orchestra, first performed in 2007 by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Colin Davis. The Times described the five-minute piece as 'an irreverent deconstruction of the two big works heard earlier - the Tchaikovsky 4th Symphony and Mozart's Elvira Madigan Piano Concerto, K467[...]' Stomp 'went through all sorts of wacky distortions before being whisked, ceilidh-style, into a punch-drunk jig of delight.' In response, the Financial Times commented, 'Imagine Mozart and Tchaikovsky in kilts, thrown into the middle of a highland fling.'
