Birmingham Contemporary Music Group & EXAUDI, James Weeks This disc contrasts Skempton’s choral works—including the dancing, evocative setting of Shelley’s The Voice of the Spirits
and the spiritual Rise up, my love—with chamber music ranging from solo cello (the Suite from ‘Delicate’) to the
exuberant, yet very English, Chamber Concerto. “Howard’s music is elegant, British, civilised, with a touch of anarchy. I see him as a gentleman in a bowler hat, a
briefcase — and sandals.” BBC Music Magazine “Howard Skempton's music sounds deceptively easy. Openness to simplicity is one of the hardest qualities to nurture in music, and it is the heart and soul of Skempton's creativity. Exaudi is typically assured under the direction of James Weeks, masterfully pacing The Voice of the Spirits across its broad span. BCMG captures both the innate charm of the Clarinet Quintet and the diverse moods of the Chamber Concerto.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
