Synopsis

Album Description
"Brilliantly diverse in its musical language, sympathetic to the wit and wisdom of Reid's texts, and superbly well set for young voices, Alphabicycle is a textbook example of how to write for diverse forces in a meaningful, inclusive yet unmistakably individual way." -- Gig Magazine This disc presents striking contrasting works from Colin Matthews. Both pieces are world premiere recordings, released to mark Hallé's 150th anniversary and the re-launch of the Hallé label. Alphabicycle Order is a setting of wonderfully punning children's rhymes by Christopher Reid. The Horn Concerto is a dream-like piece, with a romantic framework haunted by a series of troubled intrusions from soloists and Matthews' brilliantly written orchestration.
