This exciting album features world premiere recordings of nine chamber and solo works, profiling the distinctive and diverse voices of five celebrated British composers. The album explores the rich theme of the English landscape and it's cultural history through innovative and evocative music.InchDistant Voices, New WorldsInch is inspired by the interplay of contemporary and historical perspectives on landscape.

Evelyn Ficarra set a poem by contemporary Brighton-based poet Valerie Whittington.Complementing these works are five additional compositions recorded by the New Music Players, creating a kaleidoscope of new British music and historical voices. Highlights include An instrumental elaboratio
