Hugh Wood's Cello Concerto, concentrated into a single movement, is full of vigorous and dramatic orchestral writing; the ethereal Violin Concerto, performed by its dedicatee, is in three movements, centring upon the mercurial scherzo.
Originally released on Unicorn-Kanchana in 1978.
Reissued with funding from Arts Council England. |

Cantiga sets the tragic, bloodthirsty story of the 14th-century Spanish noblewoman Inês de Castro; Matthews Symphony No.4 subverts its classical model with plainsong and a tango.
These recordings were originally released on Unicorn-Kanchana in 1993.

Casken's lyrical Cello Concerto is coupled with Maharal Dreaming, a vivid orchestral fantasy derived from his opera Golem; the glittering showpiece for strings, Darting the Skiff; and the theatrical and exuberant Vaganza, with its echoes of Petrushka.
These recordings were originally released on Collins Classics.
Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.
Casken's acerbic musical architecture is ideal for this ensemble; an ensemble whose smoothness of sound in the Mahlerian figures of Darting the Skiff is balanced by their precise articulation of Vaganza and subdued sonority in Maharal Dreaming. With Schiff's cool, mellifluous account of the Cello Concerto at its centre, this Casken retrospective is a must for any new music devotee.The Independent on Sunday |

Holloway's rhapsodic, romantic Violin Concerto was inspired both by the Tiffany stained glass of a New York mansion, and by a Fauré song; the accompanying Horn Concerto combines neo-classicism with a darker, Mahlerian mood.

Blond Eckbert, Judith Weir's first opera, is based on Ludwig Tieck's folk-like tale of a quiet elderly couple whose secluded life eerily unravels as their fantastical past catches up with them. The music's apparent simplicity, with echoes of Weber's Freischütz - belies its underlying darkness.
Originally released on Collins Classics in 1994. |
