“Claudio Records has come up with a winner here” [MusicWeb International] !

Warwick Music have just published my ‘Sonus‘ – (meaning ‘sound’) – a two-and-a-half minute showpiece for tuba and piano, sometimes brilliant and sometimes lyrical.

This wonderful CD by violinist Sian Philipps includes my ‘Looking Back’. It has just been enthusiastically reviewed by Jonathan Woolf in MusicWebInternational: “Looking Back is an Orphean piece inspired by the backward glance of the mythical character, its pungent lyricism irradiating the music to fine effect: an admirable, concise work.” It was also reviewed in July by the British Music Society as ‘splendidly dynamic and tuneful‘

BoBop is a 5 minute showpiece for solo violin in Bebop style. Recorded by Thom Gould on his Bach to Parker CD, it has been played many times and most recently in two performances in Brighton by Ellie Blackshaw. A version for viola has been performed in the UK by Yuko Inoue and in the USA by Patricia McCarty. Ellie Blackshaw will be playing BoBop again on 23rd July at the Chapel Royal Brighton.

Violinist Siân Philipps has just released her new CD ‘From Shadows to Light‘ which I’m delighted to say includes my ‘Looking Back’. The CD includes music by Grace Williams, Paul Ladmirault, Vaughan Williams, Sally Beamish and Egon Wellesz.
CD formats and downloads are on the Claudio label CC6035
