Track listing
1 The Tree o’ Licht for two cellos2 The Poet Tells of his Famean electroacoustic fantasy after Borges for cello, pre-recorded samples and live processingSonata for Cello and Piano3 I4 II
Total playing time [60:45]
Both musically impassioned and socially engaged, William Sweeney’s music is at its most eloquent when voiced by that most human of instruments, the cello. The player navigates a stormy electronic landscape in the Borges-inspired The Poet Tells of his Fame, while Schumann lies behind the powerfully argued Sonata for Cello and Piano, recipient of a 2011 BASCA British Composer Award.
The Sonata bears a joint dedication to Delphian artist Robert Irvine and to Erkki Lahesmaa - ‘keepers’, as Sweeney calls them, ‘of the cello’s inner voice’ - and Irvine is joined by his Finnish colleague here in the 2008 duo The Tree o’ Licht, in which Gaelic Psalmody is transmuted into deepest instrumental expressivity.
'potent and poetic intensity, intelligence and clarity'- Sunday Times 'this music is ablaze with colour and irrepressible energy, Irvine and Pavri make it truly sing''- Scotsman
