About
"SOMM Recordings celebrates the centenary of the birth of Ruth Gipps with Dedication, featuring five premiere recordings of chamber works inspired by her clarinettist-husband, Robert Baker, most of which were recently broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Composer of the Week. Making their debuts on SOMM, clarinettist Peter Cigleris, oboist Gareth Hulse and pianist Duncan Honeybourne are joined by the Tippett Quartet, whose coupling of music by William Alwyn and Doreen Carwithen (SOMMCD 0194) was admired by The Strad for its “radiant insight and affection… beguiling lustre and allure”."

Gipps’s music is certainly rich in character...Cigleris, an indefatigable champion of British clarinet music, proves an attentive, big-hearted performer whose devotion to this repertoire is paying ample dividends...Recorded sound is warm and full.
December 2021
Cigleris is wholly within Gipps’s rich, warm-hearted idiom, whether in the Quintet or the Rhapsody with string quartet – the Tippett Quartet providing excellent support.
