NORTHERN LIGHTS - John Casken - robert Saxton - Judith Weir - KREUTZER QUARTET

NORTHERN LIGHTS - John Casken - robert Saxton - Judith Weir - KREUTZER QUARTET
ID: MSV28507
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subcollection: String instruments

The three composers featured on this CD are in themselves leading lights of the contemporary music scene in the UK, and their works (of which these are first recordings) very fine examples of the modern string quartet, all extremely accessible.

tracks: John Casken: String Quartet no. 2
Judith Weir: String Quartet
Robert Saxton: Songs, Dances and Ellipses

The Kreutzer Quartet has forged an enviable reputation as one of the Europe’s most dynamic and innovative string quartets. The ‘Independent’ newspaper summed up their playing as ‘Passion, Grace and Steel…’.
They are the dedicatees of numerous works, and over many years forged creative partnerships with composers including Sir Michael Tippett, David Matthews, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir, and Haflidi Hallgrimsson. They have a particularly strong relationship to a cross-section of leading American composers, having collaborated intensively with the great George Rochberg in the last few years of his life, as long as working closely with figures as Elliott Schwartz, and the prolific symphonist Gloria Coates.
As recording artists they have won critical acclaim for their discs on the Naxos, Metier, and Chandos labels. Their work in collaboration with art galleries has garnered much attention, and large audiences, particularly their annual residency at the Tate Gallery, St Ives. In 2008 they appeared at several Festivals including the Venice Biennale, and the Montpelier Festival. They are ‘Artists in association’ at York University. The performers on this CD are Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin), Gordon MacKay (violin), Bridget Carey (viola), and Neil Heyde (cello).
Of the works presented here there are no other recordings of the Casken and Saxton pieces, and at the recording of these, the composers were present, so it can be assumed they are precisely what the composers actually envisaged when writing the works.

The Kreutzer Quartet includes:

Peter Sheppard Skærved (Violin)
Mihailo Trandafilovski and previously Gordon MacKay (Violin)
Morgan Goff and previously Bridget Carey (Viola)
Neil Heyde (Cello)

ROBERTO GERHARD - CHAMBER MUSIC - CANTAMEN - Gemini, piano trio
ID: MSVCD92012

Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music

Gerhard's music is inspired by his Catalan roots, and from his exile from 1938) in England. He died just as his true worth as a composer of music in many genres was becoming appreciated. Always wanting to push back the barriers of the musical imagination, his music is seen by some as "hard work" but is in fact very melodic and accessible - invariably worth the effort.
