Synopsis

Award winning, highly respected and totally uncompromising - Brian Ferneyhough is fearless in his quest for new musical structures and boundaries. The works on this CD, all recorded here for the first time, are masterpieces of the modern age. In 'Allgebrah', especially, Ferneyhough demonstrates the inspiration he received from the work of troubled genius artist, Adolf Wölfli, one of whose works we have chosen for the cover art, Courtesy of the Arts Museum, Berne.

"This is not a review, as I have not yet heard the recordings. However, the "Product Description" above is in error. All but two of the works on this disc have been previously recorded: "Trittico per G.S." appeared on a Naive Montaigne disc (1996/2003) with Stefano Scodanibbio on contrabass; "Flurries," "In Nomine a 3," and "Incipits" appeared on an Ensemble Recherche CD in 2005. It's great to have new versions of these excellent pieces, especially as the other discs are getting harder to find; "Flurries," inspired by an A. R. Ammons poem, is a very strong piece.



As far as I can tell, this IS the first recording of "Coloratura" and "Allgebrah." The music of Brian Ferneyhough is one of the great treasures of the contemporary music scene; hopefully we will have a recording of the 5th string quartet soon. In the meantime, these recordings are welcome."
