About This Song
About "The Five Sacred Trees (Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra): II. Tortan" by London Symphony Orchestra
'Tortan' moves with the unease of a storm-bent branch. Williams pits the bassoon's reedy, searching voice against restless, pulsing strings—a dialogue between fragility and orchestral mass. The music feels like a ritual dance around a sacred tree, calm and ominous in equal measure.
