Cello Spice is emsamble. Long before the Spice Girls were thought of, the original Spice Group was conceived by a cellist who had long felt that the quality and variety of original works for cello-ensemble offered much to be enjoyed; music which had been almost totally neglected. A group was formed in 1993 from young and established professionals, and several successful engagements followed. The numbers in the ensemble varied; a basic recital group performing duos, trios and quartets, whilst some works required as many as 32! On their Divine Art CD, Cello Spice are: Mark Bailey, Gillian Copp, John Davison, and Alison Lawrance.
Allocation of parts was always by consensus - the group had no "leader" as such. The group was formed to entertain, with live concerts including anything from Wagenseil to ragtime, from Offenbach to Gershwin.
The only regular cello ensemble in the UK, we believe that the group discontinued its activities due to its members other commitments. |

METIER's third CD dedicated to the "impressive, thoughtful, entertaining and extremely varied" [Sunday Times] music of Christopher Fox. Fox brings music for solo cello into the modern age - his sometimes microtonic, sometimes lyrical, writing demands especial skill and virtuosity from the performer - ably provided by Lukoszieveze. Fox, for those in the know, is one of the foremost contemporary composers in the UK - see other Metier CDs of his music.

David Gorton is a very highly respected British composer whose music is firmly modernist - very difficult to play, but which is also very approachable and accessible. Here Neil Heyde provides a stunning performance of the Cello Sonata and a second version, given a very different interpretation in a live recital. We have the two tiny but intense Caprices for solo violin, a fine work for Piano Trio and the String Quartet Trajectories, a modern model for that genre. All are first recordings, produced and supervised by the composer.
The music of David Gorton first began to receive attention in 2001 when he was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize while still a student. The subsequent commission for the London Sinfonietta, Oblique Prayers, outlined a distinctive and unique sound-world described by one commentator as combining “an acute imagination for delicate timbral invention with a prodigious command of the unfolding of this half-hour ritual drama” (The Independent).
Gorton studied composition with Harrison Birtwistle and Simon Bainbridge. His music can be described as technically demanding for the performers, and for the listener it is complex and challenging - one commentator remarked that it is music in a constant state of restless evolution.
As a soloist and chamber musician Neil Heyde has appeared throughout Europe, and in the USA and Australia. Since the mid 90s he has been the cellist of the Kreutzer Quartet and he now heads the postgraduate programmes at the Royal Academy of Music, where his work focuses on the relationships between performance, composition and analysis. He has commissioned and premiered many solo and chamber pieces and is also dedicated to performing and recording neglected areas of the repertoire.
