World premiere recordings
Delphian's first orchestral recording presents a richly imagined new choral
symphony by Edward Harper, setting it alongside chamber works by this
inventive and limpidly expressive composer.
Harper's music is firmly within the British symphonic tradition, yet ranges wider still in its deeply felt response to human experience, from the 19th-century Dorset of William Barnes to a message of hope and reconciliation from the present-day Middle East.
Edward Harper was born in Taunton, Somerset. He studied music at Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained a first class honours degree, and at the Royal College of Music, London. Subsequently he studied for a further period with Franco Donatoni in Milan. Since 1964 he has been on the staff of the Faculty of Music at Edinburgh University, where he is a Senior Lecturer. He is active as a pianist and conductor and is the Director of the New Music Group of Scotland, an ensemble which has established itself as a significant and highly- valued part of Scottish musical life, as well as giving concerts in London and abroad.

A chamber-music portrait of Hafliđi Hallgrímsson, one of the most influential figures in the recent flowering of Icelandic music. Enigmatic yet eloquent, inscrutable and self contained, these exquisitely crafted, jewel-like works reflect the personality of the composer himself as well as his multi-faceted literary and artistic interests and influences.
Fidelio Trio: Matthew Jones (viola), Darragh Morgan (violin), Robin Michael (cello) & Mary Dullea (piano)

WORLD PREMIERE
Three works with literary allusions by the brother of the well-known Xaver Scharwenka. These are pieces that show a more comtemplative side than most of his brother's works, from the eerily beautiful Frühlingswogen (after Turgenyev) to the delicate Liebesnacht, a theme from Tristan und Isolde. |

Languages of Booklet Text: English, French, German
Sterling breaking new grounds! First CD from French part of Switzerland. More composers than Honegger made a mark in Europan music history. Maurices music is refined in late romantic and sometimes impressionistic style. Many pieces on the disc give a lasting impression of an extremely gifted and dynamic personality with all knowledge in orchestral writing. Grieg seems to have been a source of inspiration in the "Pécheur" and "Francesca". |

This is the true fill up in the catalogue. Neither of these concertos has been recorded before. They are written in romantic style (what do you think??). The second movement of the Piano Concerto track 2, should make this concerto just as wellknown as the Grieg or Schumann concertos.

Another Swiss romantic! Herman Suter was the pupil and follower of Hans Huber. Mahler was very much the source of inspiration for Suter in the symphony. A drastic and colourful scherzo is followed by an intensely lyrical third movement! Jelmolis charming short pieces completes the disc. |

Malmö Opera orchestra, Conductor Christopher Fifield. First English romantic on the Sterling label. Cliffe, who wrote very few works, was an intensely Bruckner-inspired composer with the same fondness of beautifully crafted theme work. The third movement is truly heaven. Cloud and Sunshine -is also a quite interesting work -the beginning really sounds as if it could be played by an organ! |

The most interesting feature with Huber in younger years is the fact that his theme work originally seem rather undistinguished. Still when working on the material, he alway find something convincing with them! This goes for the 1st. And Lotolff, Concerto Symphonique no 5 is not far away... The 3rd is a completely other matter. Here he is absolutely personal, also in the choice of themes! Just the beginning is arresting in it´s refinement. A stunning continuation of the symphonic complete series! |
