David Collins (b.1953) is a composer of huge invention and craft. He shuns both the contrived gestures of modernism and a simplistic return to tonality, creating a completely unique sound world. This has great internal logic, economy of material and clarity of expression, and offers the listener a fascinating journey of beauty and sparkling energy. Rising stars Rebecca Raimondi and Alessandro Viale have busy careers in Italy and the UK, both with specialisms in early and contemporary music. They are assuredly names to watch! Their performances here, are captured in superb sound quality.
