Subkolektion: Piano Madeleine Mitchell's violin recital with reknowned accompanist Andrew Ball ranges from the lyrical minimalism of Michael Nyman's On the Fiddle, and folk-influenced pieces by Stephen Montague and Stuart Jones, to the strongly-crafted Fantasia by Brian Elias, and the extraordinary effects of Nigel Osborne's new solo violin piece, Taw-Raw, which Mitchell premiered at the Huddersfield Festival in 2004.

Subkolektion: Clarinet A powerful and original symphonist, Robert Simpson (1921-1997) gave new life to the form at a time when the avant garde was enthusiastically declaring its death. His Symphony No 3 is dedicated to his friend and fellow composer Havergal Brian. It is a work of dramatic contrasts and irrepressible energy; Robert Simpson described the second of its two movements as “a huge composed accelerando”. The London Symphony Orchestra is heard here under legendary Russian conductor Jascha Horenstein. |

Kolektion: InstrumentalSubkolektion: Piano Trio Fibonacci's debut on NMC also sees the first appearance on the label of James Clarke, whose Piano Trio is joined by solo works for each of the three instruments. Michael Finnissy's Independence Quadrilles allows each line vertical independence from the others, while he has described In stiller Nacht as "an arrangement, or quite possible derangement" of Brahms' German folksong. The disc is completed with Gerald Barry's typically enigmatic In the Asylum. |

Subkolektion: Clarinet Roxburgh's Clarinet Concerto features soloist Linda Merrick in a work of symphonic scope and expressivity; she is acompanied by the Royal Northern College of Music Symphony Orchestra conducted by the composer.
In Saturn - a tribute to Holst, Roxburgh's predecessor at the Royal College of Music - Roxburgh explores the mythical characters of its moons and satellites in a series of orchestral showpieces which culminates in the wild abandon, and percussive onslaught, of Saturn itself; Hertfordshire County Youth Orchestra is conducted by Peter Stark. |
