About
This album contains the premiere recording of the String Quintet, an early work from his student days, rich in allusions to early 20th-century works, but already containing many of the elements of his later work: tangy harmonies, intricate counterpoint, modal lyricism and often almost neo-Romantic expression. Above all the works are a reflection of the composer and his perceptions of the word and the people around him, yet at the same time universal in their appeal.
The two quartets are very different. The first was written in 2008 after the composer had recovered from a 17-year debilitating illness and while his style was developing considerably as he undertook his Doctorate. Its single movement is rich in variety, using a few small thematic ideas in constantly evolving forms. The second, from 2011, is a study of three character types (not necessarily real individuals) which are each distinctive but clearly related.
- Kate Oswin (violin)
- Alicia Berendse (violin)
- Ana Teresa de Braga e Alves (viola)
- Ghislaine McMullin (cello)
