Jonathan Harvey<br />

In this dazzling 3-minute work from one of British music’s most innovative voices, brilliant<br />

shards of sound spectra collide with highly accented and rhythmic material in the bass.<br />

Written for the ABRSM in 1995, it is a fantastic introduction to Harvey’s wonderfully highspirited<br />

musical imagination.<br />

0571518982 ff Jonathan Harvey £7.50 €9.81<br />

Oliver Knussen<br />

Prayer Bell Sketch is a hauntingly beautiful study in weight and measure, resonance<br />

and reverberation. Lasting 6-minutes, it recollects and rearranges a few clear, bell-like<br />

harmonies into an enchanting, deeply personal, statement.<br />

0571519520 Prayer Bell Sketch Oliver Knussen £9.99 €13.97<br />

Colin Matthews<br />

This highly contrasted set of pieces from Matthews’ suite for piano dates from the late 70s.<br />

From the percussive Toccata, the hushed Nocturne and the aggressive and volatile Scherzo,<br />

this is music of exhilarating expressive scope which displays a dazzling grasp of<br />

the instrument.<br />

0571505554 Toccata, Nocturne and Scherzo George Benjamin £12.99 €16.78<br />

David Matthews<br />

David Matthews’ charming Variations for <strong>Piano</strong> comprise twenty four variations on an<br />

original folk-like theme. After a first group of exhilaratingly fast variations, the 15-minute<br />

work continues with slower, sometimes blues-inspired, music.<br />

0571518621 Variations for <strong>Piano</strong> David Matthews £8.99 €13.04<br />

Olivier Messiaen<br />

This recently rediscovered Messiaen work takes its name from the Sub Alpine Warbler.<br />

Filled with the bird’s song, the 11-minute piece dates from 1961 and was possibly intended<br />

to be part of a second <strong>Catalogue</strong> d’Oiseaux. A fascinating addition to the repertoire.<br />

057153905X Le Fauvette Passerinette Oliver Messiaen £10.99 €14.91<br />
