Giles Swayne's works for cello exhibit an astonishing array of moods and colours. The restless beauty of Four Lyrical Pieces and strident romanticism of the Sonata offer remarkable counterpoint to his sublime Suite for solo cello. Canto seduces us with its intoxicating symbiosis of traditional African and Western art music.
Swayne:
Four Lyrical Pieces, Op. 6
Suite No. 1 for solo cello, Op. 111
Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 103
Canto for cello, Op. 31
Robert Irvine (cello) & Fali Pavri (piano) |

Track listing
1 The Tree o’ Licht for two cellos 2 The Poet Tells of his Fame an electroacoustic fantasy after Borges for cello, pre-recorded samples and live processing Sonata for Cello and Piano 3 I 4 II
Total playing time [60:45]
Both musically impassioned and socially engaged, William Sweeney’s music is at its most eloquent when voiced by that most human of instruments, the cello. The player navigates a stormy electronic landscape in the Borges-inspired The Poet Tells of his Fame, while Schumann lies behind the powerfully argued Sonata for Cello and Piano, recipient of a 2011 BASCA British Composer Award.
The Sonata bears a joint dedication to Delphian artist Robert Irvine and to Erkki Lahesmaa - ‘keepers’, as Sweeney calls them, ‘of the cello’s inner voice’ - and Irvine is joined by his Finnish colleague here in the 2008 duo The Tree o’ Licht, in which Gaelic Psalmody is transmuted into deepest instrumental expressivity. |
