Nigel Clarke identifies himself with the virtuoso performer, and with the spirit of innovation, exploration and textural ambiguity. Utilising advanced aleatoric techniques and demanding that his performers "push the envelope", he produces fascinating pieces indeed.

Subkolektion: String instruments While the string quartet is most usually associated with the Germanic traditions, many fine quartets have emanated from a variety of sources in more recent times, and the Catalan area is such. The four quartets recorded here are important becuase they offer a picture of quartet writing outside the main European canon; the four composers are of the generation after the great Roberto Gerhard, who left Spain for Britain in 1939 but whose roots in Catalan music created the cornerstone for this new school of expression.

Kolektion: Chamber MusicSubkolektion: Quintet 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".

Subkolektion: Piano Two young composers with very contrasted sound-worlds,but brought together in the piano pieces on this album - the fascination of many composers from early days to the present with musical mechanisms (such as the "metronome march" in Beethoven's Eighth Symphony). This CD with a variety of works for different instruments is a good introduction to contemporary music.

Kolektion: Chamber MusicSubkolektion: Chamber Ensemble Michael Finnissy is amongst the most celebrated of contemporary British composers and his music is featured on many of our CDs. This selection of works for chamber group and solo instruments written between 1977 and 1990 displays both his formidable talents and those of Topologies. These pieces are inspired by the disappearing musical cultures in places affected by ethnic cleansing (Kurdestan and Azerbaijan) and "discredited" musical styles such as free jazz and expressionism.

Dilok (oboe & percussion)Delal (oboe d'amore & percussion)Kulamen Dilan (soprano sax & percussion) Moon's goin' down (solo oboe)Runnin' wild (solo oboe) Keroiylu (oboe, bassoon & piano)Lost Lands (sax, clarinet, violin, guitar, piano)
