About this product
Gary Higginson has spent a life writing music for a wide range of formations, ages and abilities. Much of his work explores two great loves nature and English literature, especially Shakespeare. Accordingly, this presents a sequence of songs, instrumental works and a substantial cantata. This is music that is always communicative, characterful and accessible. He was born in West Bromwich which, although then semi-rural, also forms part of the industrial Black Country. His first musical experience, listening to his father's constant singing at home, led him to joining the local church choir at the age of seven, the next year beginning piano lessons with the choirmaster. The constant presence of the church and it's music has been a strong influence on him ever since and led to singing in an early performance of Britten's War Requiem. His first attempt at composition was made when he was eleven and he has not stopped for more than fifty years. Album Tracks 1. Two Pieces for Solo Flute Op. 62 2. Messages of Hope, for Soprano, Tenor, Baritone and Piano Op. 87 3. Three Ben Jonson Songs, for Baritone and Piano Op. 126 4. Scenes from Shakespeare, for Solo Piano, Op. 164 5.

EMOTIONS is a collection of miniatures by outstanding Polish and foreign composers. This unique project of an album with works by Polish composers (including world premiere recordings) for flute and organ is a novelty on the music recording market. It consists of works by, e.g. Zygmunt Noskowski, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Karol Szymanowski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Pawel Lukaszewski, Lukasz Wos, Wojciech Kilar, Michal Lorenc, Gabriel Fauré, Eugène Bozza, or Felix Mendelssohn. We hope that this musical showcase, consisting of miniatures created in various eras and styles, will be an interesting suggestion for every music lover.

For the 75th anniversary of the Detmold University of Music, GENUIN is presenting a collection of lovingly restored recordings from the 1970s and 80s. As we gradually leaf through the booklet and listen through the four albums, we are treated to a veritable cornucopia highly personal recordings by great musicians who played a significant role in shaping not only the history of the Detmold Institute, but also that of German post-war music history.
