Special appearance by Errollyn Wallen, appointed by King Charles as the first Master of the King’s Music of his reign. Wallen is a celebrated composer and singer-songwriter, known for her works commissioned for the 2012 London Paralympic Games and the Golden and Diamond Jubilees of Queen Elizabeth II. She is also an Honorary Fellow at Mansfield College, Oxford.
On Milestones, violinist Philippe Quint offers a deeply personal exploration featuring works by trailblazing women composers who have shaped his personal and artistic journey. This recording includes concertos written especially for Quint by Errollyn Wallen and Lera Auerbach, as well as a new work by Lora Kvint—Quint’s mother—marking their first collaboration. With each composer bringing a unique perspective and distinct voice to the album, Milestones focuses on life’s pivotal moments, such as Wallen’s second movement of the concerto inspired by a Yiddish lullaby sung to young Philippe by his grandfather and Auerbach’s multilayered violin concerto reflecting the distortion of memory by future experience.
Multiple Grammy Award nominee Philippe Quint is recognized as one of America’s leading violinists. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, with a distinguished history spanning over 125 years, ranks among Europe’s finest ensembles. Andrew Litton, one of the most celebrated American conductors and a renowned pianist, joins this remarkable collaboration. This release marks the PENTATONE debut for all artists.
