Flanders Fields Reflections: Music of John Burge
Sinfonia Toronto, Nurhan Arman, conductor
Shauna Rolston, cello
*** Juno Award Winner ***
This recording features the music of renowned Canadian composer John Burge. The thirteen-member chamber ensemble Sinfonia Toronto brings to life Burge's reflections and musical interpretations of Canadian culture and heritage and the sheer beauty of Canada's landscape.
Upper Canada Fiddle Suite is a nostalgic musical journey around the waterways near the Great Lakes. One Sail is a musical reflection on the Canadian landscape and features the artistry of Canadian cellist Shauna Rolston. Flanders Field Reflections musically interprets five phrases taken from John McCrae's famous World War I poem, expressing the extreme emotional gamut of loss, despair, sacrifice, obligation and hope.
John Burge's title composition, "Flanders Fields Reflections", was awarded the 2009 Juno Award for Best Classical Composition.
