"I sometimes suspect Kevin Bowyer of being more interested in putting unusual repertoire on disc than in presenting coherent interpretations. Not so here. These performances clearly come from the heart and are born of long acquaintance with many of the pieces."

| |  | Jonathan Harvey - Other Presences
“Other Presences” began as a piece for solo trumpet and live electronics written by Jonathan Harvey for Markus Stockhausen, commissioned by Martin Brabbins and the Cheltenham Festival. It was then performed at the Camden Roundhouse’s Electric Proms in 2006. The piece is inspired by ritual Tibetan ceremonies where Stockhausen’s written and improvised trumpet parts are looped and harmonised in real time. After recording the piece, the idea arose to ask seven other composers, many of them also Sargasso artists, to contribute a personal ‘remix’ of the original trumpet recording. The composers, chosen by Harvey, are all related in one way or another to him and his work. Most notably, his own daughter Anna Harvey was asked to participate. Kaffe Matthews, Lawrence Casserley, Daniel Biro, Evelyn Ficarra and John Palmer all enthusiastically accepted the challenge. Thus the ‘ground-rules’ were established that each composer would receive only the non-treated acoustic trumpet recordings (without hearing the complete version of “Other Presences”) and was allowed total freedom to interpret the sonic material as they wished in order to create a new composition. As the works started to emerge it became clear that each composer was proposing a very different approach to the material, some deciding to stick fairly closely to the original sounds while others manipulating them beyond recognition. The results go far beyond the original remix concept, offering a collection of personal re-interpretations of Harvey’s original. Markus Stockhausen’s masterful and inspired playing provided a fertile ground for these explorations. |

| |  | Jonathan Harvey - Timepieces
Anu Komsi (soprano) BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov & Stefan Solyom The works on this disc explore Harvey’s fascination with Eastern philosophies from the ecstatic Indian text of
White as Jasmine to Body Mandala. “These are some of Harvey’s most ambitious and imposing orchestral pieces, two of them, Body Mandala and ...Towards a Pure Land, written for Volkov and the BBCSSO, whose composer-in-association he was from 2005 to 2007. They are parts of a Buddhist trilogy whose centrepiece is forthcoming, and are well contrasted, the first predominantly fast and loud and full of rough-edged exotic sonority that mimics music in Tibetan monasteries, the second more typically Harveyesque in its meditativeness. The mysteriously static Tranquil Abiding is an extreme case of the latter approach. The three-movement Timepieces explores the nature of time, and clocks, with a complexity calling for a second conductor (Stefan Solyom).” Sunday Times, 20th April 2008 “Jonathan Harvey's music juxtaposes moments of disarming simplicity, of naivety almost, with others of considerable sophistication and intricacy. …all but one of these pieces explore different facets of spirituality… Perhaps the most immediately involving is White as Jasmine, based on texts by a 12th-century Hindu saint. Here, soprano Anu Komsi delivers a superbly controlled performance of great vocal beauty.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Robert Quinney (organ) The Choir of Westminster Abbey, James O’Donnell ‘The choir, atmospherically recorded in the Abbey itself, sings this demanding repertoire with its customary zeal and a well-blended sound, and the performances are directed with the panache and style one has come to expect from James O’Donnell. Robert Quinney’s contribution as organist culminates in a Laus Deo from Jonathan Harvey aptly described by O’Donnell in his booklet note as “the opulent psychedelia of [Messiaen’s] Turangalîla compressed into four minutes”’ (The Daily Telegraph) | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
