Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin), Tamami Honma (piano), Janne Thomsen (flute), Neil Heyde (cello), Philip Mead (piano), James Watson (trumpet).
Nigel Clarke identifies himself with the virtuoso performer, and with the spirit of innovation, exploration and textural ambiguity. Utilising advanced aleatoric techniques and demanding that his performers "push the envelope", he produces fascinating pieces indeed.

The solo piano music of Ives represents an extraordinary achivement. "Experimental" is a word often associated with it. But "experimental" in what sense? Certainly he was exploring a wholly unique and personal style. Ives' music is by turns, exploratory, powerful, sensitive and transcendental always wholly consistent within its own, sometimes highly unusual terms. These qualities are there in abundance in his two crowning achievements the first and second sonatas. The studies and others orbit round these like planets to twin suns.

Kolektion: InstrumentalSubkolektion: Piano
Music for piano, tape and electronics by Katharine Norman. The composer believes that the solo piano and the digital soundscape share an ability to convey an unflinching intensity, an intimacy that draws the listener "inside" the timbres of sounds, and the nuances of experience.

The composer said "Music can be defined as a series of proportions in the service of a divine impulse". A philosophy which is shared by compsoers from Bach to Camilleri, Machaut to Tavener, and which is certainly the ethos of Divine Art Records! While acknowledging the radical experiments of the 1960s and 1970s, Crumb's music became famous for its instantly recognisable style, integrity and sense of mysticism, and an ability not to alienate audiences.

Kolektion: Brass CollectionSubkolektion: Chamber Ensemble
These three works were all commissioned by pianist Philip Mead to play with the Royal Northern College of Music's acclaimed Brass Ensemble: Nicholas Sackman's rigorous and dramatic Meld, and Diana Burrell's Gold - which explores the sonorities of brass and gongs - are coupled with the title work, Geoff Poole's subversive yet jazzy portayal of Man's fall. |

Subkolektion: Piano
This collection of Stephen Montague's music for piano explores his roots in the Southern USA - including spirituals such as Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen - and the legacy of American experimental composers such as Charles Ives and John Cage with wit and energy. Pianist Philip Mead (also heard on Lucifer) is joined by singer Monica Acosta, flautist Nancy Ruffer, the Elysian Quartet, the London Sousa Band, and the composer himself on electronics and piano.
This recording was made with funding from the Research Committee of the Faculty of the Arts at Thames Valley University. |
