Plenty of verve and energy propels Ashley John Long's rather diffuse Hevelspending, while the far more experienced Hilary Tann's confidently expressed Some of the Silences echoes the epigrammatic style of the haiku for from which it is derived.
11th December 2010
The Lunar Saxophone Quartet is reliant largely on specific commissions, which gives their repertoire a modern flavour...Metcalf's On Song features gently interleaving lines of soprano, alto and tenor saxes over resonant baritone, while Tann's Some Of The Silence is inspired by a haiku, "a deep gorge.../some of the silence/is me", and presents a world of calm and solitude.
