Harper: Symphony No. 2 / Scottish Chamber Orchestra
“From its aching Mahlerian introduction through to its close, the symphony is an emotional journey, with a beating heart of profound compassion and conciliation, sung by the SCO and the magnificent baritone Alexander Robin Baker, a late replacement soloist who penetrated the soul of the music. I don’t know what little time he had to learn it, but he did it well”.
The Herald
“At its heart is Them! Not Us!, set to a powerful poem by Ron Butlin which explores the tragic deaths of children, particularly those caught up in war. The honeyed tones of baritone Alexander Robin Baker, stepping in for an indisposed Leigh Melrose, made the words all the more chilling.”
The Scotsman
“The rich-toned baritone Alexander Robin Baker…”
