5.0 out of 5 stars A substantial and engaging collection 1 Sep 2012
By Peter Tompkins
Format:Audio CD
This is a great pair of CDs bringing together two hours of Ed Hughes's music. Familiar chamber works such as the six Orchid pieces are juxtaposed with the theatricality of his film scores such as Strike! The title piece, Dark Formations, is moodily placed in the middle of the first disc. All in all, this is very approachable modern chamber music beautifully put together and superbly performed by the New Music Players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling listening 8 Aug 2012
By Jo West
Format:Audio CD
Ed Hughes' music makes for compelling listening. The vibrant sounds of the Chamber Concerto, the hauntingly beautiful and disturbingly evocative Dark Formations and the subtle but taut shifts in Light Cuts Through Dark Skies were highlights for me in this double CD of riches. Fantastic playing, too...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing textures and complexity! - a wonderful CD 13 July 2012
By Jo Marsh
Format:Audio CD
Wow - I really enjoyed this recording. I always love Ed Hughes' music actually and this is no exception. The Chamber Concerto is very engrossing - particularly interesting following the way little fragments and motifs were thrown around the parts - there is something kaleidscopic about it. But the quartet is my absolute favourite, the polyrhythms so often paired with lengthy evocative lines combing to create elongated and highly textured musical effects drawn out and developed over several minutes. The relationship between small scale and large scale is fascinating... and what lovely playing! (Cool CD cover by the way)
