Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The world's first (and only) mandolin and harp duo, Alison Stephens (mandolin) and Lauren Scott (harp) are such a remarkable team that four composers have been inspired to write music specially for them. The result is Tapestry, an inspirational album of contemporary music that rescues these instruments from the polite environs of the 18th-century drawing room with which they are usually associated.
The world's first (and only) mandolin and harp duo, Alison Stephens (mandolin) and Lauren Scott (harp) are such a remarkable team that four composers have been inspired to write music specially for them. The result is Tapestry, an inspirational album of contemporary music that rescues these instruments from the polite environs of the 18th-century drawing room with which they are usually associated.
The complementary plucked sonorities--both instruments are naturally percussive, but with markedly different textures--are demonstrated to good effect in Bill Connor's enigmatic Krug, with its off-kilter rhythms and chordal passages. The mood is somewhat more traditional in Julian Dawes' Three Pieces, in which the mandolin's urgent tremolo contrasts with the harp's reflective arpeggios. David Sutton-Anderson's Mandalas are true miniatures, seven short and avowedly meditative pieces. The longest work is Paul Mitchell-Davidson's Tapestry, an ambitious 32-minute, four-movement suite. Utilising the mandolin's full range of techniques--ringing arpeggios, glissandi, string skipping (playing only one of the paired strings), strumming chords and tremolo--it's a virtuoso workout for Alison Stephens, who surmounts its technical challenges with apparent ease.
Throughout, the two instruments reveal previously unimagined expressive qualities, helped in no small measure by the splendid musicianship of Stephens and Scott, whose persuasive advocacy will surely guarantee more fine music for this combination in the future. Lovers of the classical mandolin in particular and anyone with a taste for unusual chamber music will find much to cherish here: contemporary yet thoroughly attractive pieces, splendidly performed. --Mark Walker
