Saturday 16th July 2011 Read more...
"The four works on this CD demonstrate beyond question the vital role tonal music has to play in
today’s culture and reflect the composer’s close association with some of the most talented and
celebrated international artists, many of whom gave the world premieres of these works.
This selection of James Francis Brown’s exciting, visionary and emotionally rewarding chamber
music is captured for the first time on this recording. This is a tour de force of contemporary virtuosity
and lyrical intensity." Guild Web review
