Aldeburgh World Orchestra - Charlotte Bray: At The Speed Of Stillness [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.At the Speed of Stillness, commissioned by Aldeburgh World Orchestra, explores paradoxes of energy and movement: 'the hummingbird motionless as a star' (in Dora Maar's description), or the contained energy of a power station. Caught in Treetops, a violin concerto written for Alexandra Wood and BCMG, takes its inspiration from two poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Federico Garcxeda Lorca, while also drawing on the relentless energy of Sonny Rollins.rr

Two song-cycles make explicit Bray's close relationship with poetry: Fire Burning in Snow sets three poems by Nicki Jackowska exploring desire, obsession and loss - also the subject of Songs from 'Yellow Leaves', a sequence of haikus based on Shakespeare's sonnets. The album is completed by the energetic piano quartet Replay, and Oneiroi, a dark study for piano.rr

This album is part of our Debut Discs series.
