The Curlew completed in 1922 is the acknowledged masterpiece of Peter Warlock’s compositional career a work of sensitivity inventiveness and of desolation of spirit appropriate to Yeats’ poetry of unfulfilled love.

Completed in Krecovice in May 1911, this demanding work, with its complex harmonies and motivic structure, seemed avant-garde for its day: the Berlin premiere of November 1912 was accompanied by protests from the audience. Now Zdene…

Par VINE CARL. Described by its composer as 'a fantasia', Carl Vine's dramatic String Quartet #5 (2007) contains six clear sections but like much of his music is cast in one continuous movement.

This is the Study Score edition of Per NørgÃ¥rd's String Quartet No.8 'Night Descending'. Programme note: This piece is based on 5 sections from my chamber opera Nuit des homme where a string quartet is the leading instrumental ensemble.
