Thursday Music Selection -Modern Classical and Composition

[jazzy_dave]

Yep,as usual,sunshine morning and a rainy afternoon. Thankfully,it has been a day of mostly relaxing and listening to some CD's and in particular,this one i found today for a quid.

This is a sampler CD of music from this excellent British modern classical music company with 28 tracks and a catalogue of all their releases.The company is no longer around which is a pity, I first heard of then back in the nineties via the esteemed Wire magazine when they gave Jonathan Harvey's "Bhakti" an abum of the month spot.

So, here are some of these composers the NMC label put out - problem is - none of the tracks pit out are available on You Tube (mostly) so here are other things that they have done.


James Dillon - Nine Rivers: 4. La femme invisible

Roger Smalley - Accord Section V

Richard Barrett - Adrift

Harrison Birtwistle - Gawain Overure

Howard Skempton - Lento

Gerald Barry - Piano Quartet 1

Barry Guy - After the Rain : Antiphon

Enjoy.
