One of NMC's commitments to new music is rescuing significant recordings that have been deleted.
Award-winning album of first recordings of Imogen Holst's chamber works (originally released on the Court Lane Music label)
Stylistically, many of the works share a similar soundworld to early Tippett and Finzi, however during the 1930s Imogen heard Berg's Wozzeck in Vienna, which had a profound impact.
Her Sonata for Violin and Cello, written during this time, explores a darker, more unsettling dissonance.
It is thanks to Imogen (and Colin Matthews) that NMC Recordings was created, back in 1989, with support from the Holst Foundation. |
