Some British Modernists

The list author says:
	"Confrontational but also very moving; "8 Songs" in particular is essential listening."

The list author says:
	"Amazing close-up chamber music by three of the giants of British music"

The list author says:
	"Ferneyhough's solo works are intense, focussed and notoriously dense."

The list author says:
	"Densely-layered chamber music -- makes Elliot Carter sound like Arvo Part ;-)"

The list author says:
	"Hopefully this will be available again soon -- Dillon's solo works are lyrical, spikey and sometimes humorous too."

The list author says:
	"Firesy string writing, played beautifully as ever by the Arditti quartet"

The list author says:
	"The title piece is a huge achievement -- "the Rite of Spring of our time" -- but don't overlook the brilliant Panic"

The list author says:
	"Two classic "theatrical" ensemble works, flanking the lovely Nenia."

The list author says:
	"For my money, this is the best place to start with HB. Lyrical, shimmering chamber music."

The list author says:
	"More brilliant "theatrical" or "ritual" ensemble music."

The list author says:
	"It;s a shame Finnissey isn't better known; the music on this disk is varied but every piece is a pleasure."

The list author says:
	"Another underrated composer; Knussen's sense of fun is legendary."

The list author says:
	"There's not enough Goehr in print either... the Lyric Pieces alone are worth the price of this one"

The list author says:
	"She wrote scores for Hammer Horror movies, but Stravinsky rated her serious compositions; they're precise and rather coldly beautiful."

The list author says:
	"Rather more sombre stuff than you might be used to from PMD."

The list author says:
	"It's a scandal that the Strathclyde Concertos aren't available in a complete set (& some can't be had at all) -- Collins almost don't deserve your support... still, brilliant stuff."
