Gerard McChrystal (saxophone), Craig Ogden (Guitar) & Shiroma de Silva (piano)

Smith Quartet, Codetta & Trinity Laban String Ensemble

Award winning saxophonist Gerard McChrystal comes from Derry, N.Ireland and has become the player of choice for composers and performers internationally. Gerard has premiered concertos by Sir Malcolm Arnold, Dave Heath and John Metcalf and in his career to date performed with, amongst others, Philip Glass, Smith Quartet and Craig Ogden. This brilliantly devised new CD, with many works transcribed by Gerard, is at times melancholic but this deeply personal album is always beautiful and captivating.

“McChrystal excels in these mainly slow, reflective pieces” BBC Music Magazine, March 2012 ****

The best solo piano works from the pen of Britain’s most innovative and celebrated composer, Michael Nyman, played by Ksenia Bashmet, daughter of the acclaimed violist Yuri Bashmet. The Piano Collection includes the haunting theme from The Piano. Little or no competition for the Michael Nyman solo piano works makes this disc a much sought after release.

“Ksenia Bashmet… often brings out a soulfulness and even, in the spacious calm and depth of tone of the Anne Frank excepts, a quiet grandeur that suggests late Beethoven as an influence I hadn't heard before.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2009 ****

Jeroen van Veen (piano)

This unusual collection is dedicated to a very popular style: minimalist music. The style has evolved from austere, almost strict repetition to a more varied and free approach to material and technique.

The set includes works for solo piano by most of the famous ‘minimalist’ composers covering three generations from Cage, through Riley and Glass to Adams and Nyman.
