Holloway's rhapsodic, romantic Violin Concerto was inspired both by the Tiffany stained glass of a New York mansion, and by a Faur? song; the accompanying Horn Concerto combines neo-classicism with a darker, Mahlerian mood. 'The rich romanticism of Holloway's writing in these concertos will confound those who think of contemporary classical music as ditchwater dull or ridiculously complex... Echoes of Richard Strauss, British light music, Alban Berg and Faur? emerge from the fabric of both works, leaving the strong individual flavour of Holloway's writing intact.' Music Week
