Charlotte Bray: At Speed Of Stillness
) | Label: NMC Recordings Catalog: NMCD202 Format: CD Aldeburgh World Orchestra; Elder; Schaufer; Wood; Birmingham Contemporary Music Group; Knussen; Booth; Matthews-Owen; WatkinsComposed by: Bray, Charlotte Charlotte Bray (b. 1982, U.K.) was 21 when she took to composing in earnest. In scarcely more than a decade, she’s built up a substantial catalogue of works in almost all standard genres and a professional reputation as a composer who works hard and always delivers. She has refined a compositional style and practice that is neither explicitly tonal nor atonal, but always cogent in its harmonic unfolding – token of an independent spirit from which much may be expected. (Bayan Northcott) Her NMC debut disc, “At the Speed of Stillness” features a diverse artist assemblage performing six of her works.  Price: $27.98 |
