Thea Musgrave - Turbulent Landscapes
NMC D153
This disc brings together three powerful perfomances recorded live at the BBC Proms: the dramatic Turbulent Landscapes, inspired by Turner's seascapes; Songs for a Winter's Evening, setting Robert Burns' poems of a young woman's life and loves, with soloist Lisa Milne; and the double concerto Two's Company, composed for percussionist Evelyn Glennie and oboist Nicholas Daniel.
Produced in association with BBC Radio 3
"This latest disc, featuring a triptych of Thea Musgrave's works in wonderful performances from all concerned, is typical of what makes the [NMC] label important" BBC Music Magazine
Musgrave's experimentalism of the 1960s has given way to a mature style which almost always relies on some dramatic element not always clearly stated. She remains a wonderful and dramatic melodist, something of the simple power in her opera 'Mary, Queen of Scots' reflected in the 'Songs for Winter's Evening'... Something of the subversive, playful Musgrave returns on Two's Company, a double concerto for percussionist Evelyn Glennie and oboist Nicholas Daniel.The Wire, August 2009
