Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On Invocations, master violist Paul Silverthorne brings together a valuable collection of pieces he has commissioned from today's composers and plays them all with warmth and expression, while pianist John Constable partners him with constant skill and sensitivity (some of the items are unaccompanied). In all, 11 mainly British composers are represented, ranging from distinguished senior figures such as Thea Musgrave, Robert Saxton and Richard Rodney Bennett to the younger and less well-known Scot Stuart MacRae, the Brazilian Arthur Kampela and the Finn Jukka Tienssu. The latter provides the most challenging piece here with Oddjob--a five-minute work that creates fascinating textures by shadowing a live viola with its electronically recorded equivalent. Of the more traditional works, particularly striking is Saxton's finely imagined Invocation, Dance and Meditation, whose origins lie in ancient Jewish religious and musical traditions. Equally rewarding are the lyricism of the biggest piece, Bennett's After Ariadne, based on Monteverdi's madrigal "Lasciatemi morire", and Colin Matthews'--to use his own word--"cryptic" Oscuro. But everything is worth hearing and much of this music should appeal far beyond the boundaries of viola specialists or new-music addicts. --George Hall
