- Dal informace:
Cutting-edge contemporary music for both chamber ensembles and solo instruments by this highly individualistic and well-regarded composer.
Alwynne Pritchard was born in Glasgow in 1968. Encouraged by her father, the composer Gwyn Pritchard, she began composing as a teenager and went on to study composition with Robert Saxton at the Guildhall School of Music, and later with Justin Connolly and Michael Finnissy at the Royal Academy of Music where she was awarded many prizes for her work. She has since been distinguished by critics for her "strong, spare language" and "restrained eloquence".

Piano Quintet: Barbara Allen Der Glücklose Engel Spring (solo piano) Nostos Ou Topos (solo guitar) Matrix (solo violin) Der Zwerg (solo piano) Kit (voice & guitar) Invisible Cities (solo piano)
