Now, Voyager, sail… (First Symphony), Op. 130 is Robert Groslot’s first symphony. The title refers to a poem by the American author Walt Whitman. And the “Scherzo” movement shares a link with the Beatles song, Getting Better from the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Groslot borrows musical motives and paraphrases them in his musical language.

Michael Kube

"Linus Roth lässt im Konzert die Linien natürlich gleiten und fängt die teilweise wie aus dem Äther kommenden Töne vorzüglich ein"

C.S.

"Groslot's Walt Whiteman-inspired Now, Voyager, sail..., here recorded for the first time, is full of cinematic bombast and tense atmosphere. His Second Violin Concerto is a virtuosic trapeze act which walks a perfect line between accessibility and intellectual rigour."

Georg Henkel

"The very tasteful, sonorously orchestrated music is as eclectic as the Violin Concerto, equally committed to tonality and a palpable harmony. The scherzo alludes to the Beatles song "Getting Better." The work is also sometimes reminiscent of Benjamin Britten's music."

FANFARE Magazine

Peter Burwasser

"The Brussels Philharmonic, under the composer’s direction, plays with great fervor and lush tone, which is captured in vibrant recorded sound. For those interested in new tonal music, this release is enthusiastically recommended."
