Kolekce: Chamber MusicPodkolekce: Chamber Ensemble Howard Skempton’s first full-length disc for NMC - following the best-selling single Lento - is Ben Somewhen. It pairs chamber music performed by BCMG - ranging from solo cello to the exuberant yet very English Chamber Concerto - with choral music sung by EXAUDI, including the dancing, evocative setting of Shelley, The Voice of the Spirits. The title work takes its inspiration from the witty line drawings of Ben Hartley.
This disc contrasts Skempton’s choral works-including the dancing, evocative setting of Shelley’s The Voice of the Spirits and the spiritual Rise up, my love-with chamber music ranging from solo cello (the Suite from ‘Delicate’) to the exuberant, yet very English, Chamber Concerto. |

"Morgan Hayes captured an elegiac melancholy in his transformation of Squarepusher’s Port Rhombus" Tom Service, Guardian
This is the first time leading Danish group Esbjerg Ensemble has recorded for a UK label. Morgan Hayes’ delicate yet manic Violin Concerto forms the centrepiece to this debut release on NMC showcasing his instrumental and ensemble music. Included are his transcription of Squarepusher's Port Rhombus, commissioned for the South Bank Centre's 2003 Ether Festival, which captures the beauty and fragility of this experimental drum'n'bass work from 1996; Lucky Speech for solo violin, inspired by a character from Beckett’s Waiting for Godot; a collection of piano miniatures Strides Book I & II; and the dramatic solo piano work Puppet Theatre, which refers to the title of the painting by Paul Klee, featured on the front cover of this CD. |
