He was Principal Horn of the Philharmonia Orchestra for twelve years, and is currently a member of the Nash Ensemble and a founder member of London Winds. Closely associated with promoting contemporary music for the horn, Richard Watkins has given premieres of concertos by Maxwell-Davies, Osborne, Lindberg, Muldowney, LeFanu, and Colin and David Matthews.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title work on this album is Peter Maxwell Davies' solo horn piece Sea Eagle (1982). It was initially considered by many to be impossible to play but is now regarded as an essential part of the horn repertoire and is even a set-piece for the prestigious Munich Horn Competition.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard is joined on this recording by a stellar line-up of chamber musicians, including Paul Watkins and Huw Watkins for an unusual combination of horn, cello and piano (C Matthews \u0026amp; Holloway), and tenor Mark Padmore to present the unmistakable soundworld of Gerald Barry. His setting of Lewis Carroll's famous poem Jabberwocky \\u2013 which is first sung in French, with expressive legato phrases, and then repeated more forcefully in German \\u2013 features some delightfully unconventional horn writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Maxwell Davies: Sea Eagle I Adagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Maxwell Davies: Sea Eagle II Lento\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Maxwell Davies: Sea Eagle III Presto molto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerald Barry: Jabberwocky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Three of a Kind I Vivo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Three of a Kind II Largamente\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews: Three of a Kind III Calmo+AF3187\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuw Watkins: Trio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Matthews: Quintet for Horn and Strings (live recording) I Andante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Matthews: Quintet for Horn and Strings (live recording) II Molto vivace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark-Anthony Turnage: Prayer for a great man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Holloway: Trio for Horn, Cello and Piano I Liberamente\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Holloway: Trio for Horn, Cello and Piano II Poco allegro\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143192854913,"sku":"803062","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51SM74YR3UL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767675888","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/803062","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
