Join us on our YouTube channel every Friday afternoon at 3PM for a session of new music where we release unseen performances, delve into our recorded albums and meet the composers.
Friday 10 July: We dive into Cresswell’s distinctive sound world in the Delphian album ‘Music for String Quartet’. Two ends of the world are bridged in this compelling survey of string chamber music by Lyell Cresswell, whose unique body of work has been a vital presence in his adopted home of Scotland for four decades now while retaining qualities of light, space and openness that evoke his native New Zealand. The imposing String Quartet plays host to a wealth of detail which enriches but never obscures the ‘long, strong tune’ that threads through the work. Instrumental virtuosity comes to the fore in Kotetetete, whose title puns on ‘quartet’ and on the Maori word for ‘chattering’.
