Other info:

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.

“the Catamen ensemble play the [Trio] with tenderness and sympathy. This performance [of Gemini] has real fire and conviction. Caroline Balding fulfils {Chaconne’s] virtuosic demands with distinction.” - Lionel Salter (Gramophone)
