JOHN GARTH - Six Concertos for the Violoncello - Richard Tunnicliffe - THE AVISON ENSEMBLE

JOHN GARTH - Six Concertos for the Violoncello - Richard Tunnicliffe - THE AVISON ENSEMBLE

Collection:
Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble

There are many fine compositions still lying undiscovered, and until recently this was true of the six Cello Concertos by John Garth. This native of Durham in Northern England proves to be a brilliant composer, and these concertos (which are believed to be the earliest examples of the Cello Concerto written in Britain) are surely the equal of those produced by Handel. Played on period instruments by one of Britain's leading baroque-music ensembles.

J.Garth - Cello Concerto No. 1 in D / Cello Concerto No 2 in B flat / Cello Concerto No. 3 in A / Cello Concerto No. 4 in B flat / Cello Concerto No. 5 in D minor / Cello Concerto No. 6 in G

Judith Bailey is a Cornish composer, whose music can be stark with deep emotional content; yet overall it is modern music with an inner joy and soul, always thoughtful and stimulating, which is extremely approachable and not in any way extreme. This is the first commercial recording of her work which should establish her reputation as a composer of exceptional talent.

Clarinet Quintet, op. 47

ID: MSVCD92062
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble

John Turner, Peter Lawson, Philip Edwards, Goerge Nicholson, Alison Wells, Keith Elcombe, Jonathan Price.

George Nicholson says that he is always alert to the challenge of working with the grain of every instrument he writes for, exploring and exploiting its potential to the full. As a result his music makes virtuoso demands on the players. His style is eclectic drawing on many genres (including jazz scat-singing in "For Miles") making it full of interest.

tracks:
Spring Songs John Turner (recorder) Three pieces from "Mots Justes": For Miles Sung without Words In accord Peter Lawson (piano) Nodus Philip Edwards (clarinet) & George Nicholson (piano) Letters to the World Alison Wells (soprano), John Turner (recorder), Keith Elcombe (harpsichord), Jonathan Price (cello)

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.

Collection:
Chamber Music
Subcollection: 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.

tracks:
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)

Topologies, a contemporary chamber music group founded by pianist Ian Pace, is at the leading edge of the modern music scene in Great Britain and appears on a number of Metier CDs.

The personnel varies with the music being recorded, and includes:

Guy Cowley (clarinet), Christopher Redgate (oboe), Ian Pace (piano), Nancy Ruffer (flutes), Julian Warburton (percussion), Andrew McNeill (saxophone), Philip Gibbon (bassoon), Darragh Morgan and Chris George (violins), Bridget Carey (viola), Betsy Taylor (cello), Alan Thomas (guitar) and Mikel Toms (conductor)
