Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This Black Box CD of works by Mark-Anthony Turnage consists of no fewer than seven world premieres. Some of the pieces were inspired by the deaths of friends and colleagues, which adds to the hushed, intensely personal atmosphere that pervades the disc. Cortège for Chris, in memory of Christopher van Kampen (once cellist with the Nash Ensemble ), exudes a hushed intensity that befits stillness and mourning. The Two Memorials are given committed performances by saxophonist Martin Robertson. Written in response to the death of composer Toru Takemitsu, Tune for Toru (for piano) is predominantly pianissimo and is a most appropriate way to end the disc. An Invention on "Solitude" for clarinet quintet oscillates between passages of calm and violence and is consistently involving in its compositional concentration. Two Elegies Framing a Shout exemplifies many of Turnage's hallmarks, including the influence of blues on the first Elegy. The dramatic use of silence in the animated "Shout" is particularly effective. With such committed performances and an exemplary recording, this disc comes with a wholehearted recommendation. --Colin Clarke
