Four include memorial pieces, two are birthday gifts, while another celebrates new life. As a group, they illuminate the different strands that make Hesketh's work so rich, compelling, and endlessly fascinating. This is music that rewards repeated listening, whose multi-faceted layers and intricate patterns reveal new associations with each encounter. Both she Hesketh share a certain frenetic mental energy, which he expresses in his composition. In turn, her playing style has influenced the way he writes for the piano.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'As with all things well-crafted and built on a foundation of finely honed expertise, these pieces have a quality of permanence and necessity, and there is nothing superficial or thoughtless here, in both the compositions and the performances.' \\x96 \u003ci\u003eMusic Web International\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'An enchanting, challenging, engaging album, superbly played, with first rate sound.' \\x96 \u003ci\u003eInternational Piano\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenneth Hesketh: Poetic Conceits I.
