Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Quartet World premiere recordings
Delphian's first orchestral recording presents a richly imagined new choral
symphony by Edward Harper, setting it alongside chamber works by this
inventive and limpidly expressive composer.
Harper's music is firmly within the British symphonic tradition, yet ranges wider still in its deeply felt response to human experience, from the 19th-century Dorset of William Barnes to a message of hope and reconciliation from the present-day Middle East.
Edward Harper was born in Taunton, Somerset. He studied music at Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained a first class honours degree, and at the Royal College of Music, London. Subsequently he studied for a further period with Franco Donatoni in Milan. Since 1964 he has been on the staff of the Faculty of Music at Edinburgh University, where he is a Senior Lecturer. He is active as a pianist and conductor and is the Director of the New Music Group of Scotland, an ensemble which has established itself as a significant and highly- valued part of Scottish musical life, as well as giving concerts in London and abroad.

Kolektion: Sacred MusicAbout.Not since the early 1600s have the refulgent strains of John Mundy's Lamentations setting been heard in Windsor. It has been reconstructed especially for this recording, made in Windsor Castle's Albert Memorial Chapel by gracious permission of Her Majesty The Queen.The men's voices resonate in the resplendent chapel acoustic, transcending the desolation of the texts' anguished laments in singing of extraordinary conviction and certainty.

Subkolektion: Choir Two of Britain's finest young choirs join forces and cross a continent to take on the sublime expressiveness of Rodion Shchedrin's 'Russian liturgy', an astonishing statement of faith composed in the early days of perestroika. Shchedrin's choral tableaux juxtapose tenderness with bracing sonic impact, and are shadowed throughout by the plangent voice of a solo oboe representing the soul of the Russian people.This ground-breaking choral partnership committed the work to disc following acclaimed UK première concert performances at the Spitalfields and Oundle festivals in the summer of 2008. In 1992 President Boris Yeltsin awarded Shchedrin the Russian State Prize for The Sealed Angel. |

Kolektion: BaroqueSubkolektion: Guitar Italian by birth, Bartolotti [1615 - c. 1682] was employed as a musician at the enlightened court of Sweden’s Queen Christina and in the opulent splendour of the Sun King’s Versailles. His elegant suites for guitar and theorbo fuse contemplation and virtuosity, distilling the melancholic beauty of the French Baroque. Largely neglected in modern times, Bartolotti’s music occupies a seminal place in the early guitar repertory. Lauded in this field, Gordon Ferries is a choice exponent of this cosmopolitan composer’s music.

Subkolektion: Percussion Martyn Bennett was one of Scotland’s most innovative musicians, combining the traditional and modern, the local and international. A long-planned collaboration with Mr McFall’s Chamber was never realised during his tragically short lifetime. For their second disc with Delphian, Robert McFall has put together a programme of his own sympathetic arrangements of Martyn’s music alongside original works by Fraser Fifield, another of Scotland’s virtuosic musical innovators. The premiere recording of Martyn’s ‘Piece’ epitomises his sophisticated mastery of fusion.

Kolektion: RenaissanceThe Marian Consort:
Gwendolen Martin & Emma Walshe - Sopranos
Rory McCleery Countertenor / Director
Nicholas Scott - Tenor
Steffan Jones, Baritone / Christopher Borrett -Bass
For their debut recording, the six-strong Marian Consort explores music from late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Spain. This fascinating programme celebrates the rich compositional fruits of the Siglo de Oro’s intensely competitive musical culture. These luminary works - all dedicated to the Virgin Mary - demand performances of great intelligence and vocal commitment. The youthful Marians respond absolutely, bringing hushed intimacy and bristling excitement to some of the most gorgeously searing lines in the history of European polyphony.
