The Halle Ryan Wigglesworth - Birtwistle: Night's Black Bird / The Shadow of Night / The Cry of Anubis [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.This collection of premiere recordings of Sir Harrison Birtwistle's orchestral works spans a period of ten years, from 1994-2004.rr

The works move away from the composer's forceful and monolithic grandeur, of which he has become associated, and have a more reflective, otherworldly and subtle sound, exploring the world of melancholy. The Shadow of Night is a slow nocturne, exploring the world of melancholy, inspired by the composer's life-long fascination with Dxfcrer's engraving Melencolia I, and Night's Black Bird - commissioned by the Roche Foundation - continues with the same reflective musical imagery. The Cry of Anubis, part tuba concerto, part tone poem, grew out of Birtwistle's fascination with Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the necropolis in Egyptian mythology who played an important part in Birtwistle's surreal opera The Second Mrs Kong (1993-94).rr

This is the Hallxe9's first recording for NMC.
