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. |

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingWorld Premiere Recording
This premiere recording of John Tavener's Towards Silence, written for four string quartets and a large Tibetan bowl, explores the nature of consciousness and the process of dying. Tavener had long wanted to write the work and persuaded Professor Paul Robertson (leader of the Medici Quartet and Co-Founder of the Music Mind Spirit Trust) to perform it. However, shortly after the manuscript was completed both men became critically ill and close to death themselves.
By August 2008 Robertson had recovered sufficiently to resuscitate the project, which had now taken on a profound significance for himself and for Tavener. The members of the Medici Quartet immediately agreed to reform and identified young professional string quartets with whom to perform and to act as musical mentors.
Tavener's vision was for all four quartets to be positioned high up in the cathedral dome, invisible to the audience, and arranged in the shape of a cross, bringing the Christian, Bhuddist and Hindu religions together. This sense of space has been captured in the recording, which is an SACD hybrid that can also be enjoyed on a surround sound setup. |

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Vocal and Piano
Sara Mingardo is one of the few rare authentic contralto voices on today’s music scene, and last year she won the prestigious Premio Abbiati 2010 as ‘Best Italian Singer’. Here she wonderfully interprets, in a thrilling World Première Recording, lyrical pieces for voice and piano by Guido Alberto Fano, with Aldo Orvieto at the piano.
G. A. Fano was born in Padua in 1875 and he died exactly 50 years ago in a small town in Friuli. His approach to song seems akin to that of Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), who spoke of a new interest among Italian composers for vocal chamber music: “Incipit vita nova”, he proclaimed, with Dantesque tones he greeted the salvation of the genre from the monopoly enjoyed by the previous generation, first and foremost, the huge output of Abruzzo-born Francesco Tosti. A “new life” on which Pizzetti embarked by shedding the yolk of pleasant melody and conventional cadential formulae. These little known but highly attractive lyrical pieces, composed on immortal masterpieces by two great Italian poets, Giosuè Carducci (1835-1907) and Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912), clearly show Fano’s distance from the precepts of late 19th-century drawing-room song. |
