Chamber Music
Subcollection: ClarinetAmong the so-varied styles of music being written and constructed today, there remains a vibrant and strong lyrical tradition, focussed on the English school. Proving that such work is still fresh and relevant, here are exquisite pieces for clarinet, recorder and string quartet by Robert Crawford and the late John Veale. Modern idioms which also incorporate classical and Romantic traditions.

This disc includes chamber music by two composers, roughly contemporaries, both of whose compositional careers are marked by a substantial silence in middle age, but for very different reasons. In the case of John Veale (1922-2006), it was because he felt that the musical climate had become inimical to his style (Howard Ferguson and John Jeffreys were two other distinguished composers who gave up composing for similar reasons), whereas in the case of Robert Crawford (b1925) it was because the demands of his career as a busy BBC music producer in Glasgow took up all his time and energy.
All six works are completely accessible - and in fact are a delight. As far as can be checked, there are no other recordings of any of the works available at this time. |

This is the third CD in the new Metier series of contemporary lyrical British music - following MSV28520 Music by Veale and Crawford and MSV28522 Pipings and Bowings - Lyrical English Chamber Music by Hurd, Milford & Blackford.
As a further release in our exploration of lyrical English Chamber Music (following MSV28520 - Music by Veale and Crawford and MSV 28522 Pipings and Bowings - Music by Hurd Milford and Blackford) here we have a disc featuring some lovely pieces composed by David Dubery. Being largely self-taught he works in a traditional language preferring miniature to medium sized projects. His music is tonal, rooted in past traditions, and working with dancers and actors has ensured rhythm and movement play an integral part in its composition. |
