Julian Anderson - Book of Hours

Julian Anderson - Book of Hours
ID: NMCD121
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subkolektion: Orchester

Book of Hours combines ensemble and live electronics in a tribute to the glories of late medieval art; it uses electronic sound as (in the composer's words) "an extra colour … rather as gold-leaf might be applied in a Medieval manuscript".

This exploration of other times and sound-worlds is continued in Eden, Four American Choruses and Symphony (inspired by a painting of Lake Keitele in Finland); the disc is completed by Imagin'd Corners, an exuberant showpiece for five horns and orchestra.
Note on Recording (Track 9 "noise")
We would like to point out that the crackling noise present on track 2 of Book of Hours (track 9 of the album) is intentional. The composer's idea was to begin Part 2 of the work as a distorted version of Part 1 (track 8). Julian Anderson has explained to us that he is recreating - with electronics - the surface noise of LPs bought in Eastern Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall (he has a strong interest in Eastern European music).

1- City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra/ Martyn Brabbins, conductor
2, 7 - City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra/ Sakari Oramo, conductor
3, 4, 5, 6 - City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus/ Simon Halsey, conductor

Howard Skempton - Ben Somewhen

Howard Skempton - Ben Somewhen
ID: NMCD135
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Kolektion: Chamber MusicSubkolektion: Chamber Ensemble

Howard Skempton’s first full-length disc for NMC - following the best-selling single Lento - is Ben Somewhen. It pairs chamber music performed by BCMG - ranging from solo cello to the exuberant yet very English Chamber Concerto - with choral music sung by EXAUDI, including the dancing, evocative setting of Shelley, The Voice of the Spirits. The title work takes its inspiration from the witty line drawings of Ben Hartley.

This disc contrasts Skempton’s choral works-including the dancing, evocative setting of Shelley’s The Voice of the Spirits and the spiritual Rise up, my love-with chamber music ranging from solo cello (the Suite from ‘Delicate’) to the exuberant, yet very English, Chamber Concerto.
