About

Premiere recordings of works by major contemporary British composer

World class artists

Texts of vocal work included

JEFFREY LEWIS studied with Stockhausen and Ligeti and his earlier works were uncompromising, but his later music featured here, is modern yet very approachable and melodic with often haunting atmospheres. He has received many commissions from the BBC and his works have been performed by many leading artists.

ZHENG-YU WU, violin, is a leading Chinese musician who has played with all major Chinese orchestras and toured many countries.

CAROLINE MACPHIE, soprano, is developing a fine reputation in both recital and operatic work.

DAVID JONES, piano and director, is a senior staff member at the RNCM, pianist for the Halle Choir and carries out numerous other engagements.

The disc contains first recordings of the beautiful vocal piece Silentia Noctis, two works for violin and piano, one solo piano work and a piece for chamber ensemble, all demonstrating why Lewis is one of the most individual and skilful composers of our age.
