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.

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.

Two major works for string quartet which both present structured, yet "polystylistic" forms- attuned to the modern ear, which is used to hearing "sound bites" - and what Schwartz calls "collage-oriented". It is rare to find music written with so much emphasis on the listener

METIER's third CD dedicated to the "impressive, thoughtful, entertaining and extremely varied" [Sunday Times] music of Christopher Fox. Fox brings music for solo cello into the modern age - his sometimes microtonic, sometimes lyrical, writing demands especial skill and virtuosity from the performer - ably provided by Lukoszieveze. Fox, for those in the know, is one of the foremost contemporary composers in the UK - see other Metier CDs of his music.

Linda Merrick describers Josephs as a "consummate, motivated and sincere musician" who inspires performers. The Sonatas are Brahmsian in their use of lyrical melodies and rhythmic variety: these, and the Quintet, are major contemporary works in Josephs' individual but extremely approachable and mainly tonal harmonic language.

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.

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) |
