Collection: World Premiere Recording Subcollection: Chamber Orchestra Songs of the Sky is the first in a new series of discs in collaboration with the Britten Sinfonia.
How does music react when cultures collide? And what does it mean to speak of musical modernity in today’s ever-changing artistic climate? This collection of five world premiere recordings, written especially for the Britten Sinfonia, explores the different guises of 21st century composition.
Tarik O’Regan takes Arab dance music out of its traditional environment and explores its influence upon and absorption of non-Arab culture. Jason Yarde’s Who knows the Beauty, uses freely experimental approaches to combine different soundworlds, scored for piano quintet and saxophone. Written in direct response to the deadly tsunami in 2004, John Tavener’s Songs of the Sky is a powerful memorial to those who died in the tragedy.
Britten Sinfonia
One of Europe’s most celebrated and innovative groups, Britten Sinfonia features some of the finest chamber musicians and soloists. The orchestra is widely praised for the quality of its performance and intelligent approach to concert programming, which is centred around the development of its players. Uniquely, it does not have a principal conductor or artistic director but chooses to work with a range of the finest international guest artists from across the musical spectrum, as suited to each particular project. Recent seasons have included projects with Thomas Adès, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, James MacMillan, Ian Bostridge, Joanna MacGregor, Masaaki Suzuki, Polyphony and the Michael Clark Company. In 2008/09 guest artists include Mark Padmore, director Katie Mitchell, Imogen Cooper, Dhafer Youssef, Alina Ibragimova and Paul Lewis. Britten Sinfonia performs in many of Europe’s finest concert halls and Festivals and is a regular at the BBC Proms. It has residencies in Cambridge, Norwich, Birmingham and Krakow, with a concert series at London’s Southbank Centre and the Wigmore Hall. The ensemble enjoys a blossoming international profile, a recent highlight being an acclaimed tour of South America, and is frequently heard on disc, BBC Radio 3 and commercial radio. The orchestra has received awards including a Gramophone Award and in 2007 won the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Ensemble Award in recognition for its work. |

Subcollection: Chamber Orchestra J.S. Bach and Alfred Schnittke may not immediately strike the listener as obvious musical companions. Yet there are numerous important parallels between the works on this disc. Alfred Schnittke was fascinated with musical heritage; he appropriated earlier styles and musical quotations to create his own unique brand of ‘polystylism’. In the case of his celebrated Concerto Grosso No.1 it was, of course the music of the Baroque on which he relied most heavily. What better way to illuminate Baroque pastiche, than by recording it alongside a work from that era.
