Judith Bailey is a Cornish composer, whose music can be stark with deep emotional content; yet overall it is modern music with an inner joy and soul, always thoughtful and stimulating, which is extremely approachable and not in any way extreme. This is the first commercial recording of her work which should establish her reputation as a composer of exceptional talent.

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.

John Turner, Peter Lawson, Philip Edwards, Goerge Nicholson, Alison Wells, Keith Elcombe, Jonathan Price.
George Nicholson says that he is always alert to the challenge of working with the grain of every instrument he writes for, exploring and exploiting its potential to the full. As a result his music makes virtuoso demands on the players. His style is eclectic drawing on many genres (including jazz scat-singing in "For Miles") making it full of interest.
tracks:
Spring Songs John Turner (recorder) Three pieces from "Mots Justes": For Miles Sung without Words In accord Peter Lawson (piano) Nodus Philip Edwards (clarinet) & George Nicholson (piano) Letters to the World Alison Wells (soprano), John Turner (recorder), Keith Elcombe (harpsichord), Jonathan Price (cello) |

Two young composers with very contrasted sound-worlds,but brought together in the piano pieces on this album - the fascination of many composers from early days to the present with musical mechanisms (such as the "metronome march" in Beethoven's Eighth Symphony). This CD with a variety of works for different instruments is a good introduction to contemporary music.
tracks: PAUL ARCHBOLD: Études en mouvement Peter Hill (piano) Of Crossed Destinies Hugh Webb (harp) Pas de Deux Bridget Carey (viola) & Peter Hill (piano) Disenchanted Voices Francesca Henry (flute), Bridget Carey (viola), Hugh Webb (harp) FABRICE FITCH: Filigranes pour les Frères Limbourg Ensemble Exposé Structures en Bronze Barrie Webb (trombone), Julian Warburton (percussion) Three Pieces from "Wind-Up" Peter Hill (piano) |

Michael Finnissy is amongst the most celebrated of contemporary British composers and his music is featured on many of our CDs. This selection of works for chamber group and solo instruments written between 1977 and 1990 displays both his formidable talents and those of Topologies.

Dilok (oboe & percussion) Delal (oboe d'amore & percussion) Kulamen Dilan (soprano sax & percussion) Moon's goin' down (solo oboe) Runnin' wild (solo oboe) Keroiylu (oboe, bassoon & piano) Lost Lands (sax, clarinet, violin, guitar, piano)
Topologies, a contemporary chamber music group founded by pianist Ian Pace, is at the leading edge of the modern music scene in Great Britain and appears on a number of Metier CDs.
The personnel varies with the music being recorded, and includes:
Guy Cowley (clarinet), Christopher Redgate (oboe), Ian Pace (piano), Nancy Ruffer (flutes), Julian Warburton (percussion), Andrew McNeill (saxophone), Philip Gibbon (bassoon), Darragh Morgan and Chris George (violins), Bridget Carey (viola), Betsy Taylor (cello), Alan Thomas (guitar) and Mikel Toms (conductor) |

Emsley's music relates to time... and timelessness. To Kantian philosophy... to conceptual thought... to noumenal reality. In simpler terms, music itself can transcend time, being the universal language of Pythagoras and modern science - the Divine Art. Played by Topologies, one of the UK's foremost contemporary music ensembles, and featuring Ian Pace on solo piano tracks.
