Antony Pay, London Sinfonietta, Oliver Knussen - Harrison Birtwistle: Ritual Fragment
This disc couples two major works composed in the 1970s, Melencolia I and Meridian, a setting of love poetry, with Ritual Fragment, written in 1989. The works display Birtwistle's distinctive and forceful voice and range in mood from austere introspective journeying to moments of unbearable intensity. |
